Cook Show & Tell @ Bistro CBD, Merivale Food Bloggers’ Dinner
25 June 2010

Things have been pretty quiet for me on the blogging front lately. Hectic work schedule and unexpected side projects have popped up, making if difficult to bake and post. However the one project which has taken up most of my time is the collaboration with Fouad, Billy and Karen for a menu for Merivale’s “A Feast for the Senses.”
In a never before seen event, the chef at Bistro CBD has given us amateurs full access to their professional kitchen. Food bloggers are known to talk the talk, but can we walk the walk. Imagine 4 crazy food bloggers with the help of head chef Simun Dragicevich running amuck in the kitchen, whipping up a 5 set course meal fit enough to serve 70 people!
With our reputations on the line, the M4 spent the last couple of weeks pouring our blood sweat and tears in to coming up with different dishes . With enough failures to serve a whole country, I think we have finally found the perfect menu. Being a part of this event has given me a new perspective on what chefs do and how difficult it is to come up with a great dish, with that, I salute all Chefs and Pastry Chefs.
If you have nothing better to do on a Wednesday night, why not come down to Bistro CBD and see if we can walk the walk.
