Jalapeno Vision
2008 marks a major milestone for Jalapeno London. In May, we celebrate our tenth anniversary and it really is incredibly hard for me to believe that so much time has passed. I can clearly remember when Jason and I first opened our doors and started what has become an amazing journey that I am totally passionate about.
My aims have always been incredibly simple. I wanted to have a business that was personable, that I could be immensely proud of, with an enviable reputation for quality and attention to detail;
Well, I believe that I have certainly achieved all of my goals.
Jalapeno London has grown and developed over the past ten years and this year sees us offering even more variety and combinations not to mention our stunning new range of venues and locations including Enstone Manor where we can also offer clients and their guests overnight accommodation with a full traditional in–house butler service, something that no other UK Outside Catering Company or Party Planner offers.
This January was without doubt the most perfect time of the year for me so far. The rush and buzz of Christmas and New Year Celebrations and Parties are all over, It signals the time that we can start creating our New Spring and Summer 2008 Menu Collections, combining delicious ingredients with fragrance, textures, vibrant colours and a wealth of locally sourced produce all bursting with flavour.
So after spending the last few months talking to a host of suppliers providing everything from organic locally produced produce, to those who bread, raise and farm some of the finest meats and rare breads that we have available on the menus, all of whom I am delighted to say are passionate about quality. And even more hours and long days in the kitchen, baking, roasting, searing, peeling, tasting, and finally photographing a range of dishes, I am delighted to present our Spring & Summer 2008 Menu Collection.
A huge thank you to all the people I have had the privilege, good fortune and opportunity to work with over the past ten years, to everyone at Jalapeno past and present thank you all for your commitment and contributions, to the host and range of venues and venue hosts that have kindly allowed and agreed to us catering in their venue, to our suppliers and colleagues within the industry, it’s been the most fantastic journey and experience, I very much look forward to the next ten years and all the fun it will hopefully bring.
I hope you find your Jalapeno London experience just as enjoyable!
