Up Date Sunday

What a wonderful evening. Everyone did an amazing job with their allocated recipes - from the fishcakes and duck salads to the curries, eggnets and pork hocks. We all amazed ourselves - the quality was outstanding - as good as Longrain, we reckoned except for the pork hock and caramel sauce which was, actually, *better* than Longrain's.

Thanks everyone, especially the Kincaids who hosted the evening. It was a lovely time with our accumulated Antipodean family - we really are a very lucky bunch of people to know so many adventurous cooks!
