*AS SEEN ON HESTON BLUMENTHAL'S 'FEASTS'*
I started Diosa Delicious Events back in 2008 after realising that I wanted to find a sociable way to bring together all the lovely like-minded and brilliant ladies I knew, whilst at the same time working with local companies that had a unique and interesting product or service to share.
For the Goddess in all of us! As I run my own Marketing & Events company Diosa Media Ltd and 'diosa' is Spanish for goddess, it just made sense that these events should be a fresh and funky way to have some fun with the girls. Diosa Delicious Events are designed to offer a saucy, sassy way to nurture your inner goddess. Intelligent but not serious, indulgent but beneficial!
The evenings are light-hearted, lively and definitely a bit different from you average girls night. With a relaxed format, friendly atmosphere and limited numbers, they just work really well.
Without a doubt, 'Goddess of Chocolate' has been the most popular event to date (can't think why!) and I've been really lucky to work with the fabulous Galia Orme from CHOC Chick and Sam Wilson from Bars By Design, both of whom are dear friends and fantastic business people.
Filmed for Channel 4! So imagine our excitment when in September 2009 a team from Channel 4 saw a listing for a 'Goddess of Chocolate' event that we were hosting during Chocolate Week in 2009 and asked if they could come and film it as part of a the second series of Heston Blumenthal's 'Feasts' on Channel 4!
Filming took place on Friday 16th October at KOBA, Brighton and a fantastic night was had by all! Heston was delightful as he conducted 'research' for his Willy Wonka's feast episode- the first in the series, shown on 6th April 2010.
So what makes the 'Goddess of Chocolate' events so special?
Love Chocolate? Make Chocolate! Firstly, the wonderful chocolate making demonstrations, knowledge and passion from chocolate creator extraordinaire, Galia Orme, founder of the rapidly expanding CHOC Chick.
CHOC Chick raw chocolates are made with unprocessed raw cacao; a very complex foodstuff said to be significantly richer in antioxidant flavanols than green tea, red wine or blueberries! The CHOC Kits contain only the finest raw ingredients and do not contain any refined sugars or dairy products so your chocolates can be dairy free, gluten free and even sugar free. This means this chocolate not only tastes wonderful but is HEALTHY and GOOD for you! Woo hoo! http://www.chocchick.com/
Choctail Indulgence! Secondly, Sam Wilson from Cocktail-in-a-Box created a bespoke cocktail mixing extravaganza. Between the three of us we came up with some rather delicious 'choctails' including 'Chocolate Nutter', 'Berry Chocolate Martini', 'Choc Shots' and many more.
Cocktail-in-a-Box offers funky indulgent gifts as well as a masterclass where they provide the mixologist, all the equipment to create that perfect signature cocktail, the brand quality spirits, the fresh fruit, a range of stunning cocktail glasses, and a designer bar that will make you feel as if you are in a VIP cocktail lounge. All brought to your office or venue of your choice! http://www.cocktail-in-a-box.co.uk
Chocolate Beauty! To add to the chocolatastic evening, the ladies from IntoBeauty, Brighton gave chocolate beauty treatments using CHOC Chick ingredients, further demonstrating the benefits of raw chocolate with all its lovely antioxidants!
