Well, as they say, it's better late than never! Brunch & Co actually turned a very grown up ONE back in August this year, so to celebrate we decided to throw a 1st birthday party with a small group of special friends who have helped us immeasurably over the last 12 + months.

There were a few notable missing guests but we hope to have another celebration sometime in the new year so we can thank everybody properly - any excuse for another party!!
Our place settings were little personalized bags filled with homemade chocolate chip, pistachio & cranberry cookies fresh from the oven.

For the celebration menu today, we decided to pick a selection of our favourite dishes we've served at various Brunch & Co events over the last year.
The starter was an easy choice, a dish we first served back in July inspired by a Melbourne cafe called "Pope Joan" - Rice pudding topped with a tangy rhubarb compote - deliciously creamy with a hint of sweetness offset by the tart fruit.

At this stage of the proceedings, I completely forgot about the green apple & calvados sorbet I had made for today - woops! I must have been too excited about the upcoming dessert course - Brown sugar meringue topped with delicately whipped cream & fresh juicy berries. The meringue was an interesting experiment - lovely caramel/coffee flavour, crisp on the outside and soft spongy meringue on the inside.
Special thanks again to all of our friends who have helped to make Brunch & Co such a happy success - each one of you have given your support in so many ways - from lending a hand in our tiny kitchen to spreading the word to your other foodie friends - we couldn't have gotten to this milestone without you.
So here's to great company & many more yummy & fun Brunch & Co times ahead!
Lot's of love,
Mark & Louise xx
