Breakfast With Miranda

All eyes were on The Pacific at Bondi Beach last Wednesday as Miranda Kerr was named ambassador for Clear Scalp and Hair Beauty Therapy. Attended by Australia’s beauty editors and related media, it was Katering’s pleasure to provide a beautifully hand selected breakfast for guests including:

• homemade granola with yoghurt, honey, white peaches, raspberries and blueberries,
• carved out passionfruit cups filled with mango, fresh, mint, nectarine and strawberry salad
• scrambled eggs with fresh herbs and bacon diced lardoons with crème fraiche
• mini French crepes with a choice of thick lemon curd and fresh cream or cinnamon sugar and pureed apple
• mini blueberry pancakes with maple syrup, fresh cream and blueberries
• a selection of Iggy’s bread toasted with ricotta, avocado, lemon, fresh tomato, basil and olive oil
•  mini leek egg and bacon pies and crunchy top raspberry muffins.

Our breakfast treats were all served on platters of marble and Miranda especially loved the Iggy’s bread toasted with avocado.

Our barmen mixed together juice cocktails including passionfruit and raspberry spritzers, blueberry and elderflower water, green goddess water with fresh mint and cucumbers and Miranda sipped on coconut water throughout the morning.
 
Doing a live feed with Sunrise, she certainly knew how to work the media, carefully orchestrating each photo shoot to work with the light and various angles, a professional, this is a girl who knows her best side!
 
The Pacific was beautifully decorated with flower arrangements by George Low from Seed Flora, who puts together the spectacular David Jones flower show each year, creating an intimate, beachside feel in what was a perfect blend of media personalities with a touch of home grown Aussie talent.

House & Garden Visits The Whites

This month’s issue of House & Garden features our very own Kate and Mark White on the cover and a rare insight into how they entertain and decorate for Christmas.

From the White’s formal living room where beautifully hand sewn stockings hang from the fireplace and the scent of pine from the real Christmas tree infuses the room, to the more casual outdoor entertaining area where family and friends gather for a relaxed Christmas lunch, the shoot highlights what the White’s do best.

Using greenery to create impact and candles for warmth and glow, the White house embraces the Christmas spirit. Baubles hang from magnolia branches, a wreath made from succulents hangs on the door and homemade cookies decorate the Christmas tree.

Once the styling is complete, Kate and Mark and their four children sit down for a Christmas lunch of freshly shucked oysters, prawns and a traditional ham and turkey with simple, delicious sides.

What Katie Ate

Recently Kate White was given a copy of the “What Katie Ate” cookbook by renowned blogger, photographer and food stylist Katie Quinn Davies. Having first met Katie at the Lantern author’s book launch, Katie was in awe of this talented and beautiful woman.

Katie’s passion for food is evident in her new cookbook which is a culmination of years of work. Each recipe is developed, cooked, styled and shot by Katie and after trialling some of her recipes on the weekend we are testament to her creations. Due out in October 2012 it is full of honest, home-cooked recipes inspired by her love of dinner parties for family and friends. It couldn’t better reflect our philosophy of food.
