A few happy snaps taken by the very talented at the most stunning wedding I catered recently.
This brief was simple, “I want a baked potato wedding”
The beautiful bride LOVES baked potatoes, so we organized with a local bakery around the corner to bake the spuds in their wood fired oven and I picked them up.
I thought long and hard about the toppings, there were at least 20 different things to choose from, from gorgonzola agrodolce (thanks ) to a pork and beef ragu, coleslaw, 5 other cheeses, Chef Snax crack, herbs, mexican beans, too many to list all!

We also did big fat tasty salads, canapés including devil eggs (yes that typo is on purpose, they were a bitch to peel! but I got a lot of compliments on them so all worth it!) cold rolls with chicken or pickled wild mushrooms (I foraged in Autumn) and my #1 crowd favourite, S&P oyster mushies from Adam (check out the review on last slide for the grooms thoughts on this 🤣)

Big thanks to my team .georgia and you two are fu**in amazing, you always say yes when I ask you to come work with me, and always give 110% I’m blessed to be able to rely on you both and can’t thank you enough.

the rest of my tribe that helped in one way or another
THANKYOU!!!

and big thanks to Katrina and Russel, for having a google and finding me on insta 💚 this was the best wedding I have catered yet.

I love growing my own anything at home. These are some freaky pink oyster Mushies, the sneaky buggers popped out the side of the grow bag. These frilly freaks got a bit too warm on my porch and got a wee bit roasted, that didn't stop em though, they just went a bit weird...... Like me 😋

Thanks to my bro Adam at for the grow kit!

This hot dry Australian summer is great for drying things fast. First up is fennel flowers my friend grew in her garden, I'm drying on my front porch to make a fennel salt. Next up I've been chopping my Veg scraps fine and laying on this small tray on my kitchen table, a day or two and they're dry to a crisp, they all go in this jar where they will blitzed into a Veg stock powder. I'll probably go visit my sister and use her Thermomix for this.

I hate food waste and this is a great way to use up all those rogue bits and pieces. In there so far is onion, zucchini, tomato, carrot, red onion, basil, spinach, even a few corn kernels!
