Last week some of our TableCrowd members of the Healthy Eating Crowd were given the opportunity to dine with Nutritional Therapist, Stephanie Ridley of Nourish To Flourish at Gordon Ramsey’s Bread Street Kitchen. It was there chance to learn more about the foods they should and shouldn’t be eating and to gain a deeper understanding about nutrition. Here is what Stephanie had to say on the evening:

So I admit I was a little nervous turning up at my first Tablecrowd evening, especially as I was hosting. And hosting not just as me, but as the ‘work’ me – Nutritional Therapist. So it was no surprise when everyone looked nervously at me from behind their menus – ‘Are we ok to have a glass of wine?’ ‘Can I have a pudding?’ Of course not one to judge, I believe food is also about enjoyment, so if you’re out for dinner then you should enjoy it!

Well I think I speak for us all in that it was a great evening. We were five in total so we could chat easily as a group. And our conversation did not disappoint for a ‘Healthy Eating’ crowd, ranging from baking with coconut flour and rehydrating during an 80 mile run to controlling sugar cravings and the best ways to lose weight. Everyone had such different experiences with food, coming from different cultures as well, so it was no surprise the conversation flowed and the evening flew by. Some also were planning to retrain as Nutritional Therapists so I was able to give advice for that as well.

All in all a great evening, food at the Bread Street Kitchen was delicious and we’re planning another Healthy Eating Crowd dinner in a few months time – come join us!
