Cooking With Columbo - Staying Cool

Staying Cool donated £500 to the charity LoveBrum following the event Cooking With Columbo. We had great fun celebrating the genius of the TV detective Lieutenant Columbo played by the late, great Peter Falk. This quirky event was part of our tenth anniversary Creative Heights celebrations and was held in one of our 5* penthouses at Birmingham’s Rotunda.

The evening was hosted wonderfully by regular guest Jenny Hammerton of Silver Screen Suppers. Alex Claridge of The Wilderness rustled up a chilli from her Columbo cookbook to feed everyone.

Birmingham clearly has some passionate Detective Columbo aficionados and we had a great turn out. The US-detective series may have finished filming 15 years ago, but it is much loved.

Many thanks to Jenny Hammerton and Alex Claridge for their contributions. It was a really successful event in aid of a great cause! Jenny’s Cooking With Columbo recipe book is available online
