Hi All!

just had a great weekend. Firstly i flew down to Sydney on Friday to cook a meal for a Ron and Stella, they paid a load of money to Variety for myself and Jared Ingersol (I think thats how you spell it) to cook up a sorm for them and 8 friend. Big day! Jared was suffering from a bug that his little boy had given him and almost pulled the pin!

He dug deep and and came through in flying colours. He did a little scallop dish to tickle the tasted buds, then I knocked out two courses. Firstly a Swimmer crab and pomello salad with wasabi. then Wagu fillet caramelized with miso and crispy ginger, shallots and garlic.

Mains was steamed groper with a Provencal style soup with mussels and clams

all this followed by a classic chocolate fondant. same recipe that i put in NW last week. Bloody awesome dish and so easy.

Saturday and Sunday were just domestic Bliss, hired a skip, filled it! Pho for  sunday dinner!!!

On the restaurant front, I have hire a Head chef! You guy From Adelaide Sydney Strange. he’s a great chef. Made him cook a six course meal for the team i did three courses and he did three dishes. I have also found a sous chef and a chef de partie. Oh I forgot to mention the restaurant manager he’s hired to “Kolby Johnston” currently at the Pacific Dinning room in Byron!! so we are on track.

Still  a bit to go but things are looking good!!

Hope to see you all there soon!
