The Deeper Connection
Do you ever find yourself in that unique time in the early hours connecting your previous day together??
For some, the above may seem a bit strange and possibly slightly puzzling, but everyone has their time were reflection happens.
Sometimes the brightest of ideas flow from this creative moment, others it’s all about knitting the day together so future growth can occur.
Either way, this dedicated time is essential and this week more than ever it’s been utilised to the max!!!
Working in such fast-paced environments which your kitchen is it’s easy to forget about the inner beauty and all the stories hidden behind every ingredient you touch.
Who has ever taken the time to find out how quinoa is harvested ??? Think about doing that for a living (wow) what about sesame seeds where do they appear from never mind the insane work that goes into growing and transporting something as simple as a Clementine.
Simple - did you read that, right ?? Does that make a clementine a commodity 100% not?
It’s easy to fall into the trap of taking items for granted it’s even easier to totally ignore and not dedicate any time to actually find out all there is to know about these often forgotten flavours.
This past week travel took us to faraway lands as we carved relationships, thanked, investigated and connected with 1000’s of the worlds most famous growers.
Fresh Produce is a world of passion, dedication, love, logistics, connections, relationships all to get that one item from field to plate in the shortest of time maintaining maximum flavour.
Our Love Of Food pumps through every vein as we go about our mission within this cryptic picture to source and deliver. It’s exciting to unite with others who also thrive and dedicate their lives for the same reason.
We won’t go into to much detail right here, but from a few long days, we have captured stories as we connected with many which will possibly blow your mind.
The connection is imperative in all we do - it doesn’t matter if your a chef, front of the house, gardener , fresh produce lover or something like a loin trainer the connection to your craft is the essential gift you hold.
Next time you peel that orange take a second to think how has this actually got here into my hand - Holding that knowledge will create an over and beyond experience once tasted or utilised in your creations.
Delifresh exists to connect so get ready as the time has arrived to become better connected with the ingredient and the creator than ever before...
How exciting!!!!

The Day After Tomorow
Another week has slipped by without warning, that's another seven days in which we all had the opportunity to mark with rewarding thought, another 168 hours which we will simply never see again.
How was your time - Did you laugh, smile, taste something never sampled before, bring joy to all around ???
There is no doubt that if your not careful those hours slip by without notice, and suddenly you are staring at another week approaching with rapid speed.
Every existence has precisely the same amount of time it doesn't matter if your a chef, accountant, bus driver, inventor even a frog trainer we simply all have the same amount of seconds to perform within.
We are sure your ears have heard the words Chef I simply don't have enough time !!! just take a second to think as to how many times you may have listened to this over the last seven days.
Time is no doubt a mysterious place to investigate, and it's not the length or lack off, which is the problem - its the mindset and skill in managing it to its full.
Capturing time and making it work for you is a skill a lot of creative minds hold. It may not have arrived until later on in your life but once triggered, the great reward can follow.
The kitchen is a busy environment to utilise your creative thoughts in. The hours are long, the dedication and passion for food are super sharp.
Thinking for the day ahead creates a reactive pace - is that right ??? who knows but if you continuously hunt to make it through the day what's coming at you tomorrow??
The present is a generous place for some but that day after tomorrow which is waiting for you is a far more rewarding place to investigate.
Create those memories in the present day but utilise that futuristic skill to compile projected thought, thinking BIG can most definitely bring fantastic result.
Read into the above what you will, and although pretty cryptic it's packed with voice which many ears will hear loud and clear.
Thoughts For The Work Ahead:
Your limitation is simply your imagination...
The Infection
Have you ever been in that cryptic situation where you instantly think up an idea which is purely magical? Maybe it’s a flavour combination, a new dish or some life-changing concept for your team.
This instantaneous thought often develops over time nestled deep away until just the right time to pounce to the forefront of mind and bingo suddenly appears with shock.
These ideas are often the best and more than not; although we don’t really realise the most thought through as subconsiocly, you could have been working on it for ages.
Wow, how awesome – so much so we could type about this for some time – Don’t panic though we will refrain but circumstance hit this week as we glided through the amazing engine room here @ Delifresh.
As chefs holding the ability to be so close to many unusual ingredients every second of our lives often brings that little space where you don’t take time to look at all the sheer beauty around in the detail it deserves.
We have been in the kitchen where after filleting 200 seabass, the next to arrive is just a task – you don’t notice those bold gills, the firm flesh and most beautiful colour across the fish – Its sad in some ways but something repetitive can easily blend into one.
This past week as we glided the fridge showcasing all amazing I watched in great detail as our goods in team embraced a new delivery of fantastic offerings which had travelled from southern Spain.
The excitement was immense as the team worked through the delivery, making sure our back door intake checks occurred with greatest of effect.
Smiles, passion and most intense thought happened without prompt. It's natural to take items for granted, but when you are genuinely connected to your trade, the smallest of things excite senses bringing joy and happiness to all around even when they turn up daily.
Next time something as simple as a punnet of mustard cress or even a trusty tomato lands on the pass just step back and witness its visual appeal – how much do you actually understand about what's in front of you ??
Wouldn’t it be amazing to find out all there is to know so you could extract maximum effect from your new reborn friend?
Where is this going we hear your brain tick – just soak up the thoughts as it may all become clear in a few weeks
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that’s were we end this week…..

Emotional Intelligence
This week has been a deep thinking period, we waved goodbye to someone close to our soul as they moved to that place where the lost things go.
Not disappeared just merely out of sight for the time being - An emotional gathering but the celebration of life was strong.
Illness also increased amongst a close fallen warrior who gave his energy for many years to the craft of his trade. Personality still shines even though the body is weak our combined thoughts send strong LOVE to the family.
Sometimes the dedication and passion we hold blinkers view of those extremely close people to our lives - Our skill to develop is often too late as realism hits. We mark these thoughts with regret but learn with imminent change.
We all have oppertunity to listen - Late one evening a discussion around this deep skill happened which pricked thoughts, and since this point, we haven't been able to stop investigating.
The art of listening is gifted to all, but everybody treats this cryptic skill totally different to others - Some pretend they are listening, some listen with enthusiasm, some hold intense gaze as they divulge words, others simply don't hear as words hit and their minds hatch other plans - the list goes on and on.
The ability to hold a great listening plan is a super-strong craft that once gained is immense.
Emotional Intelligence these words may not mean much but hold great power and its not just a simple listening trait. combining the tools that make up these two words can easily change life.
Social & self-awareness brings a mapping of being able to witness and change position depending on the event - the great PAUSE is a skill which holds tongue until just that right moment - Empathy is a strong tool enabling you to cryptically understand the voice and gather feeling - Self-awareness - Self-regulation the list goes on & on.
Many parts make up this area of sophistication you don't have to master all as just holding a few will create noticeable change.
Some may say you can't teach these imperative parts you are born with what you hold - This can only be false as all it takes is awareness to offer change bringing greater things to open minds.
With such skilled listening ability, guidance, and obtaining the best result in every occasion is completely possible - We all hold the ability to listen but how good are you at using yours???
I think we are going to leave this right here else we will still be typing this next week with extremely sore fingers.
Read into the above what you will but why not try and witness yourself listening this next week - Do you need to change ???
Thoughts For The Week Ahead:
Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago - Life is memory make sure you make plenty. (VC)
