Ian recently cooked for and attended a special preview of the menu for a selection of food media as a launch to the event. The food was spectacular and you can read a review of the lunch here on respected blogger Melbourne Gastronomes page:

The dessert we have devised is fairly simple in execution to cope with 500 diners but complex in flavour profile, we have opted for a clean finish to a beautifully balanced meal. We are preparing a white chocolate mousse with yoghurt sponge and spiced pineapple with a pineapple & Vietnamese mint Jelly. An image of this can be found on the blog link above but we will take pictures on the night.
We are looking forward immensely to this dinner and hope that our dessert and auction prize on the night goes some way to helping those who need it.
