Greetings food
lovers,
I've been in the media this week with a story about roadside produce
in The Courier-Mail
and a chat on 4BC with Ian Maurice.
News is that the doors to Gerard's Bistro in James Street New Farm are
set to open and I'm also looking forward to trying Kettle & Tin in
the former Pandemonium site on Given Terrace, Paddington. My spies also
tell me (Thank you David Costello) that Lachlan Scott's Flour and
Chocolate Patisserie on Wynnum Road, Morningside, is another one to
check out.
I'm buzzing with excitement about this dinner at the Brisbane Sofitel
tomorrow night. Le Petit Gateau’s Head Pastry Chef, Pierrick Boyer and
Prive's Craig Napper are hosting a special five-course
chocolate-inspired degustation including foie gras macaron au chocolat
noir villa gracinda, braised oxtail and bitter chocolate spring rolls,
seared salmon. And for dessert - elianza white chocolate béarnaise,
caviar geometry of chocolate textures with pistachio and darjeeling tea
sauce.
And this one - Vintaged Vinters Evening
with Brokenwood Wines on July 5. Iain Riggs, illustrious winemaker and
managing director of Brokenwood Wines in the Hunter Valley, returns to
the Hilton Brisbane for a memorable evening following his last sell-out
appearance at Masterclass 2010.
If you are heading to Sydney, from July 3 there will be a MasterChef fine dining 'pop
up' outside St Mary’s Cathedral on College Street where
chefs Justin North, Martin Boetz, Kylie Kwong, Christine Mansfield,
Adam D’Sylva and Giovanni Pilu will strut their stuff.
Enjoy
Kerry
