The Small City AGA Cook Off

Share this with your friends

As you all know, Gill and I are passionate about all things local and with PKAVS as our chosen charity for 2015 we’ve been keen to pull together a fundraiser with a difference that would allow us to celebrate both the #PerthLoveFest and #SmallCityRecipes.

So, tasked with thinking of our three favourite things to make it an event to remember, the list went something like this:

  1. Handsome chefs
  2. Small City Recipe cook demos And/Or a giant sized tasting session (none of this spoonful malarkey!) 
  3. Tasty local ingredients

As fate would have it, I was invited to spend a wonderful Saturday afternoon at a recent Aga demo. Super impressed (and now pining for a five oven bad boy!) I met up with Brian Paxton for a morning of coffee, homemade shortbread (from the Aga... obvs!) and some serious chatting about how we could come together to make a charity / foodie event happen.

You can imagine then, how delighted I am to announce, that as well as hatching a plan with Aga Perth, we've also pulled in our Small City's favourite chefs to deliver three afternoons of cook demos and chat with proper, get-stuck-in, tasting sessions afterwards!

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, all of these wonderful people are giving up their time for free to allow us to raise maximum funds for PKAVS.

We'll be hosting three seperate demos in the Aga shop, so if you're thinking of buying one of these iconic cookers then get yourself booked in. I had a brilliant time when I went along - I couldn't believe what you could do on them!
