Edmunds - Chobani Event*

By Prettyandtasty1 @prettyandtasty
Having tried and tasted the infamous Chobani yogurts and a fan of them, it was a pleasure to have attended Chobani's event in Birmingham for bloggers at the popular Edmunds Restaurant in Brindley place. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the representatives of Chobani - Amy & Chris. A glass of an unusual cocktail was offered to me, and by surprise it was rather nice (had about 3 glasses!); the ingredients were: Bacardi, Malibu, passionfruit, orange and apple juice; with a swirl of Chobani original yogurt. 
Edmunds - Chobani event*The  restaurant was specifically tailored to the event, so it was a great arrangement to be surrounded by lovely fellow bloggers and have a chit chat. The interior was simple and elegant and felt cosy, it's smaller than I had imagined it to be though. The entire menu was catered to Chobani's ingredients, so it was a surprise to have tasted such unique dishes created with yogurts. 
Edmunds - Chobani event*To start with: A selection of breads -  I only tried the smokey bacon one (far left) as I wanted to try something different! it had a nice light taste of bacon to it, not too overpowering with the butter; just perfect. 
Edmunds - Chobani event*This little cup of goodness was refreshing, never tried anything like it to be honest, it was a blend of asparagus and original yogurt, also with a bit of mint I think. lol 

Edmunds - Chobani event*Starter: Roasted breast of Palombe Pigeon. With Blueberry Chobani dressing, beetroot puree, candid beetroot and spring onion salad. 
I've never tried Pigeon before so it was a great opportunity to do so.  The pigeon was cooked well, tasted slightly a bit in comparison to Duck meat however with a gamey texture. The sauce complimented it very well and it was amazing to taste the yogurt improvised into a sauce to go with meat. I could say I would definitely have pigeon again. 
Edmunds - Chobani event*Main: Fillet of Beef - With Lemon Chobani marinated herb potatoes & Chobani mushroom sauce. 
This has got to be by far the best  Fillet of Beef I've ever had! As always I have mines cooked medium - it was juicy, tender and flavoursome especially with the mushroom and original yogurt sauce.

Edmunds - Chobani event*Dessert: Chobani Raspberry Soufflé  - With Vanilla Ice-cream 
An amazing soufflé! light & fluffy and you could definitely taste the raspberry yogurt in this. Delish! 

Edmunds - Chobani event*We were also gifted with a generous goody bag after the event :) Thank you Chobani for hosting such a fab event for us bloggers, it was a great evening with good company, and tasting delicious food. With no doubt we will be experimenting with Chobani yogurts in our home cooking :)
