Back at the beginning of summer, I was invited to The Real Greek, Westfield for the launch of their brand new cookbook with Tonia Buxton. I’m a big lover of Greek food and the whole set up of eating together so was excited to share a great meal with some lovely bloggers and get the chance to meet Tonia Buxton herself.
First up: Tonia Buxton is the bubbliest, loveliest and most down to earth person you will ever meet. As the face of The Real Greek and the new cookbook, her knowledge an passion for eating good, healthy food together is obvious the minute you meet her. We settled down the only way you can at a greek restaurant, on one big table and chatted whilst the procession of food began. We were treated to small plate after small plate of delicious fresh authentic greek dishes some super familiar – houmous anyone?! – right through to candied walnuts (these are EVERYTHING!!! Where have they been all my life!)
The informal lunch at The Real Greek was a chance to learn more about the brand and how the greek culture of coming together to eat is so important and makes eating healthy as a family so much easier and not forgetting fun!
The Real Greek is somewhere I’d love to return with Boo as it’s a slice of the Mediterranean that tastes just as good on a rainy day.
The Real Greek Cookbook is available to buy now.
