Guild of Food Writers

The UK Guild of Food Writers is an association whose members are professional food writers and broadcasters, journalists and columnists.  To become a member of this Guild you have to fulfil quite a number of criteria and on top of that, you really need to know your food, in great detail. 

In short, these people know their stuff.  As in, really know their stuff.

We were honoured when we were invited to host a workshop at Scandi Kitchen.  We decided to talk about the food we really eat in Scandinavia:  about the importance of husmanskost and smorgasbord/smoerrebrod - and to put on a selection of some of the stuff we Scandies feel represents our regions well.

We served Kalix Lojrom (Vendace roe), we served moose and reindeer salami...  We sampled different cheeses, enjoyed home made mustard herrings and made sure everyone had a good taste of aquavit snaps.

It was amazing to have so many foodies gathered in our little shop.  In fact, we were so overwhelmed and excited we forgot to take pictures. We all looked dashing and handsome, so just remember that bit.

Thanks to the amazing Jenny Linford for putting  our name forward and to all the members of the Guild for being there.
