A Special Spring Christening

At one of our favourite Sydney locations, the lovely Nubia from Katering celebrated the christening of her son Romeo.

Set amongst beautiful Callan Park in Balmain, Nubia picked some of her favourite Katering bites for a day of celebration and feasting with family and friends.

Upon arrival at the historic Callan Park grounds, guests were offered canapés including garlic prawns with chorizo, smoked salmon on dill blini with horseradish, crème fraiche and salmon roe, steamed Peking duck crepes, mini Yorkshire puddings with caramelised onions and rare roasted beef fillet and shiitake mushroom dumplings with chilli jam.

Snapper fillets with wedges of kumera potato provided something more substantial as family and friends mingled and the Katering chefs tended to the lamb on the spit. Basted with rosemary, lemon and garlic oil the lamb was served with crunchy potatoes and avocado salad.

The Katering pastry chef created a beautiful croquembouche held together with sweet, delicate toffee that was filled with vanilla bean custard. Mini-desserts of vanilla bean panacotta, pavlova, crème caramels, rocky road and chocolate coated strawberries added the final sweet touch.

 

As the afternoon sun began to set, family and friends danced to beautiful Latin music as a hot Sydney spring day came to an end.
