Kat from Coffee Habits spent a lazy afternoon at Quadrant, her first Let’s Do Lunch pick since they offered diners four options from beef, duck, fish or vegetarian. Kat went with the Grainfed Beef Tenderloin w Jerusalem Artichoke & Truffle Ravioli, Sautéed Spinach and Red Wine Sauce while her friend tried the Crispy Skin Duck Breast w Duck Parfait, Sautéed Witlof & Pink Lady Apples. Afterwards they indulged in a sticky chocolate and strawberry dessert that looked great.
Ugenie from Itadakimasu was very diligent and got through three GFM activities in one day! First a trip to the Night Noodle Markets to indulge in rice balls, sweet potato kusabi, Dutch pancakes and fig ice cream. Next on the list was Essential Ingredient’s chocolate workshop with Lindt’s chocolatier Thomas Schnetzler where it was hands on making three types of truffles and almond crunch. Lastly the night was finished off with the Westin’s intriguing Sugar Hit of “Seasonal Berries in Aloe Vera Jelly w Citrus Curd & Pineapple Mousse”.
Eva from Sweet Sins used Good Food Month as inspiration to visit the Pyrmont Grower’s Markets for the very first time (don’t worry Eva, I can’t get up that early either). Her photos capture the summer weather and colourful flowers, as well as the delicious food on sale.
This week I experienced a divine Let’s Do Lunch at Glass Wine Bar where their Confit of Cornfed Chicken, Parsnip Purée, Date, Pickled Orange & Almonds had me swooning for more.
I also took in some sugar at the InterContinental and tried their sample plate of high tea treats including a Cappuccino Sponge Cup, Muesli Slice and dark Praline Stick.
Coming up in the next week . . .
