You type food porn and NOT expect me to look at it?! The dessert sounded perfect for me, chocolate and orange a match made in heaven!
I am off to a winery for a romantic lunch tomorrow, expect piccies!!

That's sounds nice @Debs. Which winery are you going to?

me three. I was warned. I love small portions of beautifully presented food. What has Japan done to me?!

Honestly, though, we'd all be healthier if we ate this way more often...

Afternoon all! Slumped on the sofa having had a magnificent lunch at Meadowbank Winery near the Derwent River @wineoclock. Lovely local produce and service as always. Tassie excels in great food if you are ever down this way. Porn to follow!!

Quite a low carb affair really! I had a lovely salad with pear and candied walnuts. The dessert was sublime as always. I couldn't decide between the chocolate pudding with mandarin sorbet or the salted caramel and chocolate cake (there I go again @silverdarling!). Jus as going to take one for the team and have one so I could taste both, but then we decided on a tasting plate with a bit of everything, including a lovely apricot soufflé. Oh, and a couple of glasses of lovely local Riesling and Pinot noir. Dinner, well, I had to buy a loaf of their spelt sourdough, which I can smell from here! Coming darling........!

@Debs is that you in the background

I am here going OMG ....goodness that is. How wonderful

No, skinny hubby!!

Haha so you are lurking out of shot! that dessert looks like @Ballerina's cafe gourmand from back in the summer! Enjoy it - while you can

[Debs]

What, you mean until Monday when I am back to my under/over cooked veggies?

SD, that was my first thought when I saw the desserts, café gourmand, oh yes please. Hoping to be in France again this June.....mmmmmm,

The desserts were wonderful, everyone on different tables kept ogling others' plates and asking what they were! Presentation is always important.

Wow @Debs, they all look like works of art! How could you bear to destroy them? Seriously wonderful food!

[Debs]

Trust me, it wasn't too hard

@Debs the food looks awesome. I've noted the winery for when we get back down to Tassie. I'm already a fan of their Frogmore iced Riesling which is great as a light dessert wine.
