Cuisine NOW

BCF was extremely lucky to experience the cooking of Philippe Mouchel (currently Brasserie at Crown, Melbourne) at CuisineNOW, the initiative of the one and only Tony Bilson. Philippe Mouchel's Master Class/lunch meant divine food and surroundings at Sydney's Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf. Personal favourite: Oyster jelly with pea puree & mushroom foam. Also thought that Doltone House makes a great venue. 

Solar panels & lime juice

Blue Cockatoo Flyer is celebrating Australia Day at Camp Cockatoo in the great Australian bush - 38.2˙. Sensational day with a breeze and plenty of king parrots and cockatoos to remind us of our location.

Frequent Flyer visitors will perhaps be a little sad to hear that the solar panels no long rest on those elegant garden chairs on the roof, but now have a superbly crafted stand, constructed by Mr Blue Cockatoo.

Thank goodness for Woolworth's Select lime cordial ( so limey!) with plenty of ice on a day like this.

Also celebrating a fabulous write-up by Not Quite Nigella about the Arun Thai Restaurant with mention of new book. Thank you NQN and love your lamingtons.
