Twilight, True Love and You New Review and Alternative Covers

I just came across this blog post about my mum's book - it's everything I wanted to say about it, if I could write as well as her.

I love the gorgeous alternative front covers, the white with red calligraphy is my favourite.

Competition to win my mum's book, signed by Robert Pattinson

The nice folks at UK Twilight have kindly set up a competition to help promote "Twilight, True Love and You," the guide to finding your own Edward (or Jacob).

They have 20 copies of the book so you're in with a good chance, and two of the copies are also signed by the great man himself, Robert Pattinson. Hurry though, the competition ends midday tomorrow!

Robert Pattinson at Water for Elephants London premiere

Great news for Louise Deacon (my mum) and her marketing slaves (me and my aunt Nicky) - Louise went to the London premiere of Water For Elephants, and managed to get an autograph from Robert Pattinson himself, right onto a first edition copy of her new book!

Divertimenti cookery school outing!

Tonight I took a nice client along to cooking demonstration class held at the Divertimenti Cookery School in Marylebone (easy to get to even for a map-blind person like me, it's just 10 mins up the road from Bond St tube station).

We did the "Punishment Free Pulses," which was about learning to cook interesting, delicious meals from things like lentils, quinoa, spelt, broad beans and bulgar wheat. The format was quite different from any cooking classes I've done before, it was like a lecture with us pupils sitting in rows (about 30 of us) and the chef at the front, with a mirror over her head so we could see what she was doing, and a TV screen on the side which showed what she did on the chopping board.

As pulses take ages to cook and we were doing 5 dishes, she had to stop and start different dishes which got a little confusing in the second hour, and after the second glass of wine. Also sitting in the back row and with lots of pleasant chatty ladies in front it was slightly hard to hear everything that the chef said, but that didn't detract from the whole experience too much.

The class was £40 each - but because I booked online on a lastminute space, it was BOGOF. Well worth it for a fun, healthy night with good company, and I've definitely learned lots of things that could (could) make a real difference to my eating habits now I know how to cook nice things with weird healthy stuff.

We made (and got a small tasting dish of each):

Broad bean puree with chorizo
Braised brisket of beef with butterbean, horseradish an dbeetroot veloute
Beetroot and pomegranate spelt risotto
Spiced quinoa flatbread
Orange and sumac scented quinoa with seared salmon

Samsung 3D Pros Highlights video - my latest campaign

I'm really happy to be seeding videos like this for Unruly Media. It's not just an advert, it's interesting content in it's own right, this video shows snippets from interviews with the manager of the IMAX, a game developer and a stereographer to talk about the impact of new 3DTV technology.
