Kate’s Week – Peppered Figs & Seared Tuna Salad
A party of flavours with Kate’s menu tonight! To start we enjoyed an entrée of Peppered Figs, a reciped adapted from George Calombaris’ Hellenic Kitchen Cookbook.

Alyssa served our comforting soup in cute glass coffee cups – a very pretty touch. Main was fish and chicken tacos inspired by Matt Moran. I thought this meal was perfect for our dinner party. There’s something about lots of food sprawled out on a table, it not only looks...
