At Home: Dinner at our place

Mark won his FIRST EVER raffle at the end of last year at the Waiheke Primary School Fair - and it was a really good one! It included having the amazing head Chef of the beautiful TeWhau Vineyard Resturant - Marco Edwardes come over to our place to do a cooking lesson for a three course dinner.

We shared the evening on Friday with our good friends Steve and Sophia. It was such a fun, creative night and we ended up with a bunch of colourful pics so thought I'd share the night here with you too.

So who came........the guests

On the menu
Parmesan Wafer Stack with Tuna, Watercress & Lime Mayonnaise
Main - Poached Seafood Roulade, Vanilla-Leek, Citrus Beurre Blanc & Fresh Herbs
Dessert - Warm Flour-less Chocolate Cake & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Let the cooking begin....  

... but not before I made the table pretty. Seemed like the fitting thing to do.

It was really fun to all cook together, and a great experience to learn from someone of Marco's calibre.

Sophia was pretty happy with her choice of nail polish colour.

Under Marco's guidence we made dishes that looked like this.......

Little chef Linden admired the cooking aprons and wanted one of his own, so I fashioned him this fetching ensemble....

Lets eat.....

Towards the end of the night, Linden fancied a bit of playdough action. Sophia made him this, I love it.....

Good times xx.
