Mitchells goes to Hollywood

Those of you who are friends with Judy on Facebook will know that she recently went on a “secret mission”.

At the time of her mission, we couldn't tell you anything about it, but now we can reveal all. She was away in London to film with Paul Hollywood on his new show “Paul Hollywood’s Pies and Puds”.

It all started at the Taste of Grampian in June. The Taste of Grampian is a one day food and drink festival which allows visitors to “discover and sample the wide range of high quality food and drink products from Grampian in the north east of Scotland.”

It was a very successful event that saw the likes of celebrity Chefs Nick Nairn and the Sunday Brunch’s Simon Rimmer.

We showcased our Hand Baked Oatcakes as well as our Milk and Ice Cream. A food researcher tried our oatcakes and instantly fell in love with them.

She asked if she could use our Oatcakes in a recipe to be featured in a cookery book she was working on with a celebrity chef, but wasn't allowed to tell us whose recipe it was.

It later turned out to be Paul Hollywood’s recipe for a Crannachan Cheesecake and a TV series was being filmed to accompany the book!

Judy was given the honour of being flown to London by the TV production company (Spun Gold) where she would film the television show.

Luckily, Judy has a friend who lives close to where filming was taking place, so decided to take the opportunity to enjoy a day of “market research” in London before returning home.

Whilst she was there she visited Harrods and Fortnum & Mason’s to have a “wee look at the competition”, to see if their hampers were on par with Mitchells hampers.

She said they were good, but still nothing could beat one of our Bespoke Hampers!

Keep an eye on the Mitchells Dairy Blog over the next few weeks to keep up to date with Judy’s Adventure and the Mitchells’ involvement in Paul Hollywood’s TV show & his new book!
