• PISCEAN DINNER PARTY: TEA AND COFFEE WITH HAZELNUT CAKE WITH A CHOCOLATE BUTTER CREAM

  Both of our Pisces' friends favourite flavours are - you guessed it! - coffee, hazelnut and chocolate. 

  This is the cake I enjoyed tasting when we ex-Presidents and voluntary members were invited to the launch of the 25th Anniversary of Food Of Orange District (F.O.O.D.). 

  On a side note: The 25th Anniversary of Food of Orange District runs from Friday 8th to Sunday 17th April and you would be well-advised and wise to attend if you can.

  Also, in honour of F.O.O.D 's 25th Anniversary Week, Bloodwood Wines is offering preview tastings of the 2013 Pinot Noir (95/100). 
  

  But back to important things: this cake was absolutely fabulous: moist, light, hazelnutty and very more-ish, and, most importantly, made almost totally out of local ingredients.
