FREE LOVE YOUR LOAF PARTY PLANNING TOOLKIT TO HELP YOU CELEBRATE IN STYLE


24 May 2012

Research by the Flour Advisory Bureau (FAB) reveals that one in six Brits
are planning to organise, or help to organise, at least one more party than
usual this summer.  The Love Your Loaf research also revealed that more than
half of Brits prefer to do a buffet than a sit down meal when celebrating.

Planning for the perfect buffet has now been made simple thanks to the
free-to-download Love Your Loaf party planning toolkit launched on
www.fabflour.co.uk today

Toolkit author Catherine Borowski of top London event company Produce says,
“The FAB research shows that the top three worries for Brits planning a
party this year are the weather, the cost of hosting a party and how much
preparation is involved. While we can’t do much about the weather, my FAB
Love Your Loaf party planning toolkit will help make the preparation easier.


The Love Your Loaf research reveals that nation’s top three menu choices for
party buffets are sandwiches (68%), sausage rolls and cocktail sausages.
Whilst 15% of people will be having a traditional British party buffet menu
at their party, 1 in 10 will be experimenting with new sandwich fillings.
Egg and cress sandwiches will be taking centre stage to help us toast 60
years of the Queen, the traditional tea party stalwart, the cucumber
sandwich, has been voted our least favourite sandwich filling. 

Master baker and Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood is heading up
the Love Your Loaf campaign and he says, “My favourite sandwich is made from
sliced white bread with crispy unsmoked back bacon and butter and for a
buffet, I always head for the egg and cress sandwiches first so I’m
delighted that the nation agrees with me!”

Catherine continues, “As an events and party planner, I’m a huge fan of the
classic party buffet which is a great way to keep costs down too. Sandwiches
remain a stalwart of the Great British party buffet 250 years after being
‘invented’! Check out my delicious sandwich ideas and cake recipes brought
up to date for the 21st century to help you celebrate in style.” 

The status of the trusty white slice at party buffets across the country was
also delved into by the FAB Love Your Loaf research.  Around a third of
Brits voted for this family staple as the best bread for party buffet
sandwiches. Wholemeal and seeded bread came second and third respectively
with more exotic varieties trailing a long way behind.  Why not celebrate
with sliced bread this summer? Whether you’re planning a Jubilee party or
creating a healthy snack, the versatility of a loaf of bread can help you
celebrate every day.

Nutritionist Fiona Hunter says, “Many people don’t realise that white sliced
bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals to give your family great
taste and a healthy choice: four slices of white bread provide a quarter of
the recommended daily calcium intake for adults. And as bread is naturally
low in sugar and lower in salt as well as being enriched with calcium, it is
a good source of protein and fibre. For those of us constantly worrying
about our weight, bread is a low fat food containing between 1.6 – 2.5% fat,
if you’re watching your figure, remember to pick a healthy sandwich filling
to keep on track.”

A fifth of people worry about under catering whilst 16% of people worry
about being able to cater for everyone attending their parties.  The Love
Your Loaf toolkit has got this covered with guides on how many sandwiches,
cakes and drinks you’ll need to rustle up however big a crowd you’re
feeding. With more men than women hosting four more parties than usual,
these guidelines are bound to come in useful: it looks like this summer of
celebration has stirred up a patriotic party gene in the nation’s men!

Catherine concludes, “Whatever the occasion, be it for the Queen’s Jubilee,
the London 2012 games or a family birthday, chances are there’ll be friends
and family itching for an invite. So, prepare to step forward, don your
pinny and throw your own British party buffet and Love Your Loaf!”
