The Proof is in the Pudding

3rd February 2010

Manna from Devon Cookery School in KIngswear, South Devon welcomed food royalty to their kitchens at the weekend as Simon Parkes presenter of the Radio 4 Food Programme recorded an interview with David & Holly Jones for their pudding programme.  Simon watched and salivated! as Holly made her award winning Sticky Toffee Puddings (which gained two gold stars at the Great Taste Awards in 2009) and he and his producer Margaret Collins scraped their plates clean in appreciation.

Holly and David Jones owners of Manna from Devon are obviously very thrilled, “to have Radio Four Food Programme in your own kitchen is a great honour and we are delighted to keep the pudding flag flying”  Their range of Sticky Toffee Puddings are available online at www.mannafromdevon.com and come in three divine flavours:  Sticky Toffee, Chocolate & Walnut and Banana & Ginger and priced at £3.50 each.

Manna from Devon is a unique, inspirational cookery school run from their home in beautiful Kingswear, South Devon overlooking the River Dart, where they cater for all tastes and abilities at their cookery school which aims to build confidence through hands-on learning in a relaxed, informal environment.

Last Autumn alone, Manna from Devon owners David and Holly were shortlisted to the final three for the Taste of The West Local Food Champion, together with being nominated in two categories for Devon Environmental Business Initiative (DEBI) under Food & Farming and Sustainable Devon and were winners of the South West Rural Enterprise for the Countryside Alliance Awards 2009.

As long time supporters of the Slow Food Movement, Manna from Devon use the finest local produce and emphasise the pleasure and benefits of cooking in tune with the seasons.  Their well-established network of local suppliers and growers are essential to their success. Using veggies and meat from nearby farms, just-caught fish from Brixham, oysters & shellfish from along the coast, handmade preserves and free-range eggs from the village, Holly & David are creating a welcoming, foodie heaven.

The proof is in the pudding –  so why not try all three flavours……
