Private Dinner Party, Carole and Paul Hoode,

"Thanks so much Gary for the fantastic menu for Paul's 50th birthday all courses not only looked scrumptious they tasted delicious we shall certainly book again"   Carole Hoode





I've had a fantastic busy couple of months cooking for dinner parties, bbq's and a few weddings in between, though this weekend I was simply kept super busy cooking for a fabulous birthday dinner party with which I have been looking forwards to for a long time. Having had the dinner party date in my diary for several months, the menu secured and everything raring to go, it was such a huge pleasure to finally go out cooking. A superb tasting menu was set for the evening, with an eclectic mix of vegetarian, pescatarian and meat eating guests, so quite a challenge laid ahead but certainly an exciting one. All food went out as planned to a great group of family and friends, making for such a rewarding experience, gaining brilliant feedback from each course. I also got to taste a new South African red which really got my taste buds going :) uch a great evening all round which is why I love my job sooo much :)
