Members of the Ely and District Parkinson’s UK Group enjoyed ‘Chutney and Chat’ at their August meeting.

The group - which meets each month - was treated to a selection chutneys, cheeses, olives and curds, including curd made with blueberries, along with a gluten free range of cakes.

They were joined by Mike Howard of Rain Wizard Catering of Southery who spoke to the group about his culinary life and career.

A spokesman for the group said: "Mike shared with members where he got his inventive inspiration from and recounted many amusing stories.

"Mike also answered questions about chutneys and more general cooking questions, including 'how do I made the perfect Yorkshire puddings?'

"Mike explained that wherever possible ingredients are sourced locally, and Mike only makes small batches of produce.

"We all agreed that it had been an interesting afternoon and we look forward to welcoming Mike back in November."

The Ely and District Parkinson's UK Group meet on the third Tuesday afternoon in the month at the Bell Holt Housing Meeting Room in Ely.
