Yesterday the Lord’s Kitchen class was treated to a trip to ICON hotel as a reward for producing such good canapes last week and to learn more about the inner workings of a large hotel. When we arrived we all had to don lovely hairnets so as to be as hygienic as possible whilst on the tour and the seeing the chef demonstrations – this caused much delight to most of the girls, who had done their hair special. After a whistle stop tour of the delivery area and the kitchen we got to see how they made their daily batches of fresh muffins, before we headed to the award winning buffet lunch at teh Market Garden restaurant. This was very enjoyable with the massive range of salads, meats, fish, curry, pizza, sushi and desserts. The highlight of this I think we would all agree was the Durian Cheesecake (Not!)

We had a lovely visit, learnt a lot and walked away very full, thanks to everyone at ICON who helped and I am looking forward to visiting their training restaurant Bistro 1979.
