Welcome to the year of the Tiger, may this year bring you lots of love, health, wealth & happiness!!!

Trent & I spent another quiet chinese new year in London and I attempted to make another batch of pineapple tarts this time using the recipe from a Sydney food blog - A Table for Two. Trent is a regular follower and his food photography and blog is so inspirational that I had to give the recipe a go. It was fantastic, soft crumbly pastry and fragrant gooey centre, MmmMMmm...even my work colleagues gave me a wrap! If you want to give a go...feel free to check out his blog: http://www.atablefortwo.com.au/2010/02/01/pineapple-tarts-for-chinese-new-year/

I wonder when I will be able to take photos like his?? I will have to keep dreaming.....

Saint Vincent Festival 2010 - Bourgogne (Burgundy)

The Saint Vincent festival is to celebrate the patron saint of wine making. It is a annual tradition that one village in Burgundy hosts each year with a theme associated with it. This year, it was in Chassagne-Montrachet and the theme being the "aromas of wine". Braving the freezing weather and snow, we warmed our hearts and mind and celebrated with the many many drunk French people dancing to either old French folk or to our surprise, Grease lightning! Good friends, escargots, rillete, and washing it down with the wine of the region. What more do you want.
