A Night At Carnegie Hall

Katering had the pleasure of working with renowned chef, Damien Pignolet, to create a special menu for the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) Barry Humphries dinner at Carnegie Hall in Darlinghurst, Sydney.

The spectacular location is owned by Mark Carnegie who has converted the historic church into his home. Surrounded by the perfect mix of old and new, guests were seated at tables stunningly decorated with bright coloured flowers in a room bordered with books and beautiful artwork.

The funds from the evening were donated to the ACO Education Program that provides young musicians with the tools and inspiration to continue their lifelong musical journey.

Guests were greeted with canapés on arrival including:

• Oysters natural
• Spanner crab sandwich squares
• Zucchini custard tartlet with pesto and baby basil

After a wonderful performance by the ACO, the main course was served:

• Rangers Valley short rib of beef, fennel and celeriac puree and glazed carrots
• Warm sourdough bread
• Glastonbury Cheddar with Darling Mills salad dressed with red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil

For dessert, Damien created a beautiful quince and frangipane tart served with cream. Coffee, tea and petit fours were served to accompany.

Katering is always so flattered to work with some of Australia’s most respected and talented chefs and this was certainly a night to remember.
