Special + Regional Events 2009

23/06/09

Following the success of the 2008 inaugural Regional Events with Andrew McConnell + Pietro Porcu, we had a multitude of enquiries about new events in 2009.
In August we unveiled 'Seconds to the Fore' Degustation Lunch: a sensational event at Cutler&Co

The talented and passionate young chefs who eagerly jumped on board this event with us were Josh Murphy from Cumulus, John Paul Twomey from Cutler+Co, Brooke Payne from MoMo, Anthony Simone from Simone's in Bright and Leilani Wolfenden currently at Comme.

A very belated THANK YOU for that wonderful lunch in Sorrento 10 days ago.
It was just marvellous, and is giving as much retrospective pleasure as on the actual day.
We reminisce about it often, and try to remember the delicate composition of flavours in every dish.
It was such an incredible experience !
We both met such interesting people to chat with, and the setting was pretty unbeatable in Fiona and David's beautiful house and garden.
Thank you so much, Marieke, for an unforgettable event.
Warmest regards, Glenda Stewart (Sorrento)

Thanks again for a wonderful day Marieke,
Your enthusiasm for fantastic food experiences is infectious - I went in search of Fresh yeast in Ivanhoe the very next day and so far have drawn a total blank.
Very disappointing discovery though easily overcome I'm sure.
I just have to travel further afield!!
We will all be heading to Da Noi sometime in the near future. Piero's willingness to share his tips/experiences/secrets and hints must be rewarded
by our support - any excuse for an excellent meal prepared by such a master! ( I might even let Ian come too!!)
Look forward to sharing more tables with you in the future.
