Taste of Sydney Festival
I just got back from Taste of Sydney Festival and since sleeping on a full stomach is never a good idea I’m giving I’m staying up to share the foodie fun.
Tips for the festival:
1) Overall Mantra: Pace yourself. Slow and steady will win this food race. Do a loop and suss out what’s on offer then go nuts.
2) Eat: My favourite dishes:
12 Hour Braised Lamb Shoulder with Pea and Feta Salad from Four In Hand
Regal King salmon carpaccio with orange segments, citrus and chardonnay vinegar dressing, shaved fennel, salmon roe, baby herbs and crispy salmon skin from Otto Ristorante
Crisp Wagyu Beef with Wild Mushroom Truffle Foam from Balzac
Matt Kemp you rock…this dish was devine!
3) Drink: Try St Germain – Vanguard Luxury Brands, Patron and Punt Road.
4) Taste: Gelato, there’s several stands serving up tastings and cones of delicious creamy goodness. Sublime Gelato and Gelato Messina are must-trys! Cheese is also great for tasting, I really enjoyed the Yarra Valley Dairy range.
5) Buy: There’s plenty of condiments on offer including relishes, honey, breads and if you’re a sweet tooth like me make sure you head to Sweetness The Patisserie and buy some caramel popcorn or toasted coconut marshmallows for later!
6) Bring: This event is perfect for a catch up with friends, date or if you’re a big foodie just rock up by yourself for a a tasting fiesta!
7) Topical: Yes he’s sexy, incredibly flirtatious and has that melt in your mouth French accent but I do wish Manu would spend less time on TV and more time in the kitchen. I was sadly disappointed with his dishes on offer from L’etoile 
That’s it for me…food digested, bed time! Happy eating this weekend my foodie friends. xxMs D

YUM – the lamb from Four in Hand looks amazing! Thanks for the tips x
[...] Sunday and I’d planned to visit Taste Festival again with my friend Mr McFoodie. Both starving we arrived to the entrance at 5.30pm only to have [...]
yeah that lamb dish looks really really good! Yarra Valley dairy is excellent too. We had a cheese plate when we visited the yarra last year and it was so good.
You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be really something which I feel I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely extensive for me. I’m looking ahead for your next put up, I’ll attempt to get the cling of it!
