{24th – 26th February 2012}
Back in February, I (Funmi) had the pleasure and complete privilege to be the Roving Photographer for Inspire101. Though all the speakers and organisers have received all the images from the event and the event website has been live since end of February, we’re only just now able to share these images of the food that the attendees and I were served. This delay was due to blog unavailability for maintenance purposes and more importantly, time for Adrian to get over the fact that he was unable to be there to actually eat some of this lovely food that he was compelled to edits images of. No, he’s not bitter at all. No, no way.
Please visit FAB Magazine’s blog to see the full story about the event; we’ve chosen to focus on the food as Seyi & her team have done a great job of organising and subsequently, talking about it in detail. Thanks to the wonderfully talented Chefs & Wait staff at Jumeirah Carlton Tower & Harrods for what you are about to see. For your sake, we hope you at least have some food at home as these images may very well send you scurrying to find food in your vicinity. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
The speakers were Cedar Events, Kosibah, Pippa Mackenzie Photography, Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium, William Clarke Flowers, Wedding Day Hire, Milena Events, Becks Buki, FAB Magazine & Employee Lawyers. The amazing people at FAB Magazine also featured our other non-food images from the 3-day event on their blog, so please visit to see what we all got upto!
So Day 1 day time meals were served by Jumeirah Carlton Tower…
In the evening, we went to the Champage & Canape Reception at Harrods.
Day 2 lunch at Jumeirah Carlton Tower looked a bit like this…
Then Jumeirah Carlton Tower blew us away with taste sensations galore with the 3 courses below: Starter (R) of Lasagne of Dorset Crab, Lobster and Lemongrass veloute, soft shell crab tempura, Main (L) of Roast rump of Lamb, boulangere of braised shoulder, buttered spinach and rosemary and port jus & Dessert of a trio of miniature creme brulees, chocolate, pistachio & vanilla.
Day 3 was also catered by Jumeirah Carlton Tower.
Think of these images of another reason to consider Cedar Events as your wedding / event planner & co-ordinator and obviously, FO Photography to capture the event. Ok, you can stop drooling now and go get yourself some food.
