new year
The Matariki dinner was brilliant! Yeah, yeah, I know, I was just kissing arse to the ruling class, as a friend sweetly pointed out to me. But I had free reign over a big kitchen, a great bunch of helpers, and a huge budget to play with. How could I possibly say no? Unfortunately, due to exams, I didn’t have much time for planning or experimenting, so a lot of it was improvised on the night, but it seemed to go down well. Really well. I can’t tell you too many details, cos someone out there might steal my ideas before I have time to finish my recipe book!
Oh, and the little bits of what looks like fluff on the menu? That’s cos the last thing I scanned was a pikopiko head, which you can see on the right of the menu, and it shed some of its fluffy bits, and I haven’t cleaned the scanner since. Woops. Things to do list (that’s at about #873).
