Sarah's first cookery demonstration in aid of the Guildford children's hospice, Chase, was an enormous success, raising more than £1000 for this local charity.

Sarah was invited to join 30 members of the Chase Friends Group on Wednesday November 18, to help them create dishes on a festive three course menu, designed exclusively by Cottage Caterers with Rhubarb.  

Among the mouth-watering dishes prepared were juicy scallops wrapped in Parma ham and basil, and for main course, succulent breast of guinea fowl with apple and calvados sauce.  Sarah's warm chocolate and beetroot cake served with mascarpone went down particularly well, and we have heard that there have already been successful attempts to recreate dishes at home!   

Chase is a children's hospice service, offering a network of care and support to more than 1,200 families in the south with life-limited children. With their hospice, Christopher's, located just outside Guildford, Chase must raise £3.5 million every year to provide their invaluable service.  

The amount raised at the demonstration will fund the care for a Chase family for one whole month.
