Little highlight of day was meeting Luke Nguyen who was doing a cooking demo and then stuck around for little while and I got Mike to take a photo of us. Excuse the crappy iphone quality!
Also entered a competition to win a dinner for two at Red Lantern (plus flights and accommodation) which would be awesome to win...we'll have to wait and see. :)
I bought some fantastic curry spice mixes from 'The Spice Kitchen' made a beef curry with one of them last night and it was really yum! Super easy too just add 4 tablespoons of the spice mix to 1/2 cup of water or yoghurt and then fry it up for a minute or so then throw in the meat to brown, add a little water and simmer until it's done! Fantastic for those weeknights when I'm feeling too lazy to cook anything difficult. I'm planning on making a chicken korma using one of the other spice mixes during the week.
I also went to a Bracegirdles Chocolate Masterclass which was really good and we got lots of chocolate tastings! They explained the difference between compound and couverture chocolate and we got to see them temper chocolate and see how much effort goes into making those beautiful little handmade chocolates! I have a whole new appreciation for them now!
Anyways...I didn't take any other photos at the Food and Wine show because it was so busy that any photos would have been of people's backs and elbows!
I also have to confess that I have been slack and not taken any photos this week...my excuse being that it's been pretty overcast in the morning and evening denying me any of that pretty golden light I'm chasing...well that's not entirely true I did go outside a little while ago and attempt to take a couple of bird photos but they were truly dismal..birds are not at all cooperative!
So here's a photo that I took last week...incorporating two of my favourite aspects of photography..macro and pretty sunshine!
