Whiskey on the Green

There’s something special about the wild open spaces of a golf course. It provides an escape from the inner city hustle, a place to unwind and relax.
So when Glenmorangie Whiskey asked Katering to design a beautiful menu for a twilight dinner on the green of Bonnie Doon golf course, it was our pleasure to put together a night of appreciation and elegance.
The specially crafted three-course menu was paired with hand picked whiskeys and showcased hints of citrus and ginger throughout.
First course featured a trio of citrus seafood including lime and ginger crab dumplings, seared scallops and citrus tempura yabbie with ginger chutney.
As the sun began to set, guests were served an orange pepper venison with parsnip puree, baby fennel and onion jus.
For something sweet, a ginger crème brulee tart completed the evening.
As guests settled in with delicious food and Glenmorangie whiskeys, it was only the sprinklers that would tear them away from a beautiful night under the stars.

A Special Spring Christening
Posted: October 16, 2013 Filed under: Getting Married | Tags: cake, christening, katering, menu Leave a commentAt 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.
