Ben and Elvis from Porteno. An old shearing shed with stunning rustic decor. Akrady lamb cooking over the fire. Local produce. Feast in the Forest was everything I've ever wanted from an afternoon down south.
Twas a frantic morning in the office when tickets to the satellite events at Gourmet Escape went on sale. I think I leapt out of my chair, fist in the air, yelling yessssss!
It was so lovely to step away from the stiff corporate hoo haa and just experience an amazing feast where the food simply spoke for itself.
