Sunday mornings are meant to be spent at home reading the paper, walking the dog, playing with the children and generally lazing about….

Not this week, Myself & four colleagues spent the day tasting 6 different Cab Sav’s (Cabernet Sauvignon for the wine buffs) at my good friend Colin’s wine shop in East Preston

We were all trailing an idea for a new on-line wine website coming soon called Classic Wine Direct, the idea was to film us all tasting 6 different wines and talking generally and informally what we thought about the wines. I was taking into account what food i would match with the wine. Colin from Sussex Victuallers was the wine expert and telling us how and where the wine was made, Adam Stafford – wine enthusiast, Martin Eze – wine trainee (also none as fuzzy head, see picture) and Gavin (also know as Gavino) who has a great website called Wine of the Week.

The day was a great success and after about 6 bottles of wine we were beginning to relax and really getting into tasting and acting at the same time…. not easy after a few glasses of Vino.

We are all eagerly awaiting the next tasting and also the launch of www.classicwinedirect.com which aims to knock the socks of any on-line wine site… watch this space

I was delighted and very excited when we were asked to cook a special dinner for Aisha and James Caan at their private residence in London! The Master Chefs experience was for 12 guests and the influence was to be Indian / Asian flavours which was a real challenge!

After much discussion and research by myself including visiting one of the Caan’s favourite restaurants in London called Patara we decided on a 7 course tasting menu which was a blend of exciting flavours and textures.

The evening was a great success and enjoyed by all, we even had James daughters Gemma and Hannah in  the kitchen watching us and asking questions as they love their food.

It was a great experience for us not only cooking for the Caan’s but being challenged to come up with new and exciting ideas, Red Anywhere is all about thinking out of the box and giving the client the wow factor and what they really want at their event….. I think we managed that with this one!

Testimonial below from Aisha and James

Dear Dan and the Team at Red Anywhere

We wanted to thank you for a wonderful evening of fine food, great Mocktails and excellent service.

This was by no means an easy task as we asked you to create a 7 course tasting menu around the theme of Asian flavours. You took the time to research the dishes and flavours we had mentioned and also visited one of our favourite restaurants to get a real feel for the food we love to eat, this was very impressive!

On the night from the minute you arrived at our home you and your staff were professional courteous and most of all made us feel relaxed knowing that everything was taken care off.

The food, well it was great, great textures and balance of flavours an executed just how we imagined, our guests were very impressed and the whole night was seamless.

Well done to you and all of your staff Dan, we look forward to using you again the future

Thank you

James and Aisha Caan
