"You gave an excellent performance on Saturday evening at
our Wine & Cheese Event and there have been many compliments
about your cheeses and your narrative.
Thank you very much indeed for gracing us with your presence, for all
the hard work you did beforehand and for the careful selections you made
in the run-up to the tasting."
WI Milford On Sea
"Thank you so much for your presentation it was much enjoyed by all the ladies and feedback was really positive.
Your passion shone through and has made quite a few of us think of different ways in presenting a cheese board. Your depth of knowledge was so evident and the fact there was complete silence throughout your talk was testament to how much it was embraced."

"We met Jonathan at the Farm Shop & Deli Show in Birmingham. When we decide to create pairings between chocolate and other products, cheese came to mind and we sought Jonathanās advice. It was a pleasure to work with him. It's always great to share ideas with other people who are passionate about flavours. "
