Canowindra's historic main street all dressed up for last year's 100 Mile Diet Dinner |
The dinner is subtitled "Dinner with the Neighbours" because it features courses provided from the surrounding towns and regions of Bathurst, Cowra, Mudgee and Orange.
Tonight, the committee meets at Margaret Wallington's wonderful straw bale winery to fold napkins, string together menus and tickets and discuss any last minute jobs. I just recieved a draft menu - there will, of course, be small last minute changes - but it will go something like this...
On arrival - Rosnay organic olives, Nashdale radish served with local garlic aioli and a selection of 100 mile locally made breads and olive oils.
Entree from the producers of Canowindra - Asian duck broth with caramelised leek and corn wontons, bok choy and seared duck breast.
From the producers of Bathurst - Pot Roast of rolled Capretto, fig jam and Jannai goat's curd; Bramble Liqueur Panna Cotta & Walnut Biscotti.
From the producers of Cowra - Lamb rump in a lemon, cumin and coriander marinade with eggplant, potato and baby spinach; Hazelnut Whitie with rhubarb and raspberry compote.
From the producers of Mudgee - Beef, bacon and chive pie with tomato relish, turnip and kale; Blackberry and Apple shortcake with honey custard.
From the producers of Orange - Twice cooked pork belly with apple, fennel and parsley salad and verjuice dressing; Strawberry jelly, mousse and fresh strawberries with hazelnut toffee shards.
Can't wait - the menu sounds fantastic.
