So WeFiFo, whats its all about then, firstly its stands for "We Find Food" Its sort of an Airbnb supper club equivalent meets "Come dine with me" but in a good way.
Its a way of home cooks, chefs and foodie people to find each other and hold unique food experiences, may be make new friends and eat delicious home cooked food.
WeFiFo events are being held up and down the country, so there is sure to be one near(ish) to you, we popped along to the lovely Maria's and Alan's who are our nearest hosts for Sunday tea, a proper traditional Sunday roast,but more of that later. There is is an amazing range of food related events on offer so I am sure there is something for you to sign up for and to have your own WeFiFo experience.

- What's not to love about WeFiFo
This is the lovely Maria our host who is passionate about sharing good food with local people in a friendly environment, with WeFiFo you are eating in your hosts home so its a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
She's been a WeFiFo Home chef for a while and has hosted many varied and different events at various locations in her local area, it all started for her fund raising for a family friend and it went from there.
Initially it is a little strange that you are turning up a someone house you have never met before and you are going to enjoy a meal with people you have never met before, but once you get over that initial meeting then you are off and running and by the end of the evening you are chatting like old friends.
Booking our WeFiFo experience was pretty easy via the website, hosts post their events and you book on using Cookies (The WeFiFo currency) You can purchase Cookies using paypal or credit card and also get them as rewards for sharing and posting on social media)
The atmosphere at our event was very friendly and the chat was wide ranging covers from philosophy to Manchester Pride .
Our main course was succulent roast slice of beef served with a rich gravy, yorkshire pudding (gluten free one's especially for me :-)), crunchy roast potatoes, roast carrot and parsnip batons, cauliflower cheese (gluten free too), tenderstem, beans and peas. All delicious and a great roast dinner.
Maria had created for our pudding after all we are up North here, a delightfully decadent Champagne pavlova with strawberries, billowing with cream. Big piece for me then please....
Chocolate anise cake, again gluten free, rich dark and decadent.
Then to finish a selection of European cheeses with a variety of accompaniments.
A thoroughly enjoyable evening, great fun and something out of the ordinary, it's not just about the food its the whole atmosphere that counts. Maria would love to host something more rustic some if one of my foodie friends has a barn we can use then please get in touch. Of course if you fancy becoming a host Maria is happy to give you some hints and tips to get started.
