Well not actually gold plated of course, made with titanium steel (?), I think the lady said.
A couple of weeks ago I answered the door, and being in a good mood, did a questionnaire on healthy eating for two ladies who said they were opening a cook school in the area. I was told that they were putting the addresses of people who took part into a raffle for a 3 course meal to be cooked at home by them, focussing on heathy eating principles. I thought it was a novel way to promote a new business, and thought nothing more about it.
Last week I had a phone call to say I'd won, she asked how many people were in the family, and made arrangements to (I thought) arrive at 5.45, to eat at 6.30. However, just as she rang off, she said something about a presentation.
During the week, I began to wonder if they would be trying to get me to sign up for a cookery course if I was going to see a presentation. No, they were trying to sell a revolutionary way of cooking (that's been around for 64 years she said). They arrived at 6.30, and we sat through an hour presentation before they got to the kitchen, and finally ate about 8.30. I don't want to be too negative, just to say the result didn't inspire me to buy their starter set of pans for just under £1400.
I did find her asking us whether we would choose 'health or wealth' a little annoying, as I don't have the wealth to choose that way to health! I couldn't think of anyone I wanted to impress
by inviting them to a dinner party catered by them and hosted by me either. Reminded me of the good old days, Kirby vacuum cleaners springing to mind 
Still it was yet another experience our Japanese student can talk about when she returns home
