An almost forgotten post

Sashimi Plate, Salmon, Swordfish & Tuna

I was doing a bit of a clear out of my food photos when I came across these little beauties which I forgot to tell you about. They were taken at a lunch I had with my Mum last month at the Boathouse Restaurant. I think I was too sad after she left to gush about our last lunch together for a while. And gush I would have had to because everything about this lunch was excellent.

Snapper Pie with Smoked Tomatoes and Mashed Potato

We did, of course, both order the famous Boathouse Snapper Pie which I have made in the past. I think my version came very close to the real thing but to be honest actually enjoying this simple fish pie at the Boathouse is hard to beat. Those amazing views out across the Anzac Bridge, the crisp white linen tablecloths and the way the pies are presented on a little trolley and cut open in front of you makes you feel like you are being presented with something very special. I am a sucker for ceramony.

White Rhubarb Parfait, Mango & Pinenut Biscotti

We are blessed to have so many good restaurants in Sydney. Over the last few years we have had a number of friends and family stay with us while they take in the wonders that are Sydney. I like to think it is my obligation to introduce them to some of the best food they will ever have the pleasure of enjoying. It's a tough task but you know ... that's just the kind of girl I am.

I really love this City. But now I must say a quick farewell to it as we wing our way up to Airlie Beach and enjoy some Sailing in the Sun around the Whitsunday’s. I will be back to let you know of the adventure next week.

Don't forget if you are in the vicinity, drop into the Boathouse and let them spoil you with their pie. Everyone deserves to be treated once in a while.
