We have been asked by the team behind the campaign "Olive it!" to find 20 MNers to attend a special event in London to learn all about tapas and olives.
Olive it! is a culinary concept that aims to bring a sparkle to traditional olives by incorporating them into your cooking in new and exciting ways. The team there say "to help you bring this olive 'explosion' to life we are offering you the chance to experience a once in a lifetime olive cooking course with celebrated Spanish chef, Omar Allibhoy. During the class, selected MNers will experience hands-on tuition in an atmospheric and professional cook school in the heart of London. On this exciting cooking course you will be inspired to get creative in the kitchen and learn how to make a selection of delicious tapas with the 'master of tapas' himself".
"Omar Allibhoy will take you on a culinary journey where you can explore the exciting flavours of the Mediterranean and learn how to make a selection of beautiful and mouth-watering dishes that will impress friends and family. Take a look at our website for recipe inspiration".
They go on to say "olives are an essential ingredient in the Mediterranean diet. Versatile and full of flavour, olives also have important nutritional properties – olives are a source of vitamin E and black olives are a source of iron. What’s not to love? This tapas cookery class with Omar Allibhoy is a perfect way to experiment with flavours of the Mediterranean and will leave you fully equipped to host your own tapas party! Each session ends with a mouth-watering feast of all the food prepared, accompanied by some carefully selected wines".
The event will take place
Near Oxford Circus, central London
On Wednesday 17th June
11.00am – 2.00pm
With regret no children, due to safety reasons
And you will need to make your own way to the event, and to stay for the whole session.
And is strictly by invitation only!
After the event, we'd need you to please give your feedback on a thread on MN - we'd love you to take some photos during the event and to share these on the thread.
All attendees will receive a goodie bag containing a tapas cooking kit, olives, recipe book and apron (worth around £60) and also be entered into a prize draw where one attending MNer will win a £50 John Lewis voucher.
If you'd like to take part please add your details here and we will be in touch with selected MNers asap.
Thanks and good luck
MNHQ
