The menu this week is a bit of a mash up between French, Italian and Me. If that sounds interesting, then I agree, it should be fun to prepare. Preorder here: https://www.nicholsonfinefoods.com.au/food-news/fresh-friday28-aug

🌟 Entrée | $20
We begin with a presentation of Barossa Farm smoked Wagu beef, fine slices, served with rocket leaves, pickled apples, French 24 month Comte cheese, black grapes and a local honey drizzle. Huge flavours, a bit of sweet/sour, umami, savoury, smoke and cheese, fresh pop of grapes and leaves, finally aromatic local Manuka grade honey.

🌟 Main | $29
The main course is a baked ricotta polenta cake, with a braised mushroom and spinach ragu, crowned with Grana Padano cheese, chopped flat parsley and truffle oil. Once again big flavours, great textures all wrapped in fabulous aromas of mushrooms and aged Italian cheese. For those who don’t eat mushrooms, I have made a tomato Napoli sauce, similar to last weeks. If you would like the tomato sauce instead of the mushroom, just write TOMATO in the comments on the JotForm, easy!

🌟Dessert | $10
Last but not least a blood orange and raspberry pudding. Full of colour and flavour, using just in season blood oranges, presented as an Italian trifle pudding.

With their fluffy ears and quiet nature, witnessing this mother Koala and her joey in the wild (Phascolarctos cinereus) late this morning between some showers on a tall gum tree is an unforgettable experience (Undisclosed location, Northern Rivers NSW).

Dear Fresh Friday friends, this week we are tasting a couple of homestyle Scottish dishes. Preorder: https://www.nicholsonfinefoods.com.au/food-news/fresh-friday14-aug

✨ Main | $34
I have been able to source some hot smoked Tasmanian salmon which will form the basis of a traditional smoked fish pie. In Scotland they often use smoked haddock, however salmon is also used regularly. The pie will have a base of potato and leeks, then a layer of fish, topped with a mornay sauce and crisp bread crumbs.

✨ Dessert | $10
Our dessert is called “Eve’s baked apple pudding” a much loved winter sweet in many parts of the British isles. Eve is of course referenced from the Old Testament bible. For our Scottish version I am serving it with a whisky vanilla cream.

Review of our Roman Style Fish And Clam Garum Seasoning

Here is a recent review from a customer.
Nicholson's Roman Style Fish And Clam Garum Sauce is a fantastic discovery. It's basically umami on steroids, with nuances of the best fish sauces and hints of Vegemite, Worcestershire, etc..It's complex but the perfect addition to a vast amount of savoury dishes for a dimensional lift. I had trepidation at first, knowing of its process, but that quickly subsided to pure delight. Those Romans were definitely on to something good. A+
