The February Sunday luncheon with the same group of friends transpired into the Saturday night Soiree which had a theme of "we are all going nuts!".. nuts to be in every course. As usual everything was delicious, food and wine flowed and between the 8 of us we managed to polish it all off.

| Almost too pretty to eat... |
Robbie and the Big K had entrée and we began with a delicious starter of Chicken and Cashew patties with a Thai dipping sauce.

| Scrumptious dukkha and nut crusted lamb |
J & A our host's prepared a stack of nut and "homemade dukkha" crusted lamb cutlets .... they were so tasty ... served with a side of boiled potates with pine nuts and a lovely creamy aioli ....I was asked to bring a side dish and provided a beetroot and cashew cheese salad...it was from Wellbeing magazine so was a very healthy option but could possibly have benefited from a delicious goats cheese or feta as the cashew cheese was a little bland I thought..

| Yummy potatoes and pine nuts with a tangy dressing. |
 |
| My baby beetroot salad with cashew cheese, walnuts, cranberries with a red wine vinegar and oil dressing |
 |
| It goes without saying that this was ......decadent and delicious. |
Janine and Michael were bringing up the rear with dessert...... wow it was delicious...hazelnut merengue base with a chocolate ganache layer, filled with cream, strawberries and another merengue layer, topped with more cream, strawberries and encircled with nutty Ferrero rocher chocolates....scrumptious.
March should see us back at the home of Robbie and the Big K....always something to look forward to.
Ohhh it all sounds so tasty, what a great theme.
