Heaven on a plate


My last meal would a delectable antipasti platter: French fromage (Saint Agur, Buche d'Affinois, Ossau Iraty and Chabichou), Italian cured meats (as much Jamon Iberico as I could carry), Sicilian olives, sourdough bread, rosemary grissini, glace figs, fresh pears and a log of black label foie gras. And a case of Veuve while I'm dreaming.

Until then, I'll be eating the above in small quantities. As in my pic from lunch the other day: delish proscuitto (make sure it's thinly sliced and at room temp before eating), sourdough bread, olives, sprouts, ripe red tomatoes (never store in the fridge) organic eggs and a local goats cheese. Heaven.

If you live in Sydney, do yourself a tasty favour and head down to my dear friend's new restaurant in Newtown called 2042 Cafe and Deli at 403 King Street. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Tuesday to Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sundays, it serves a lush a la carte menu as well as a stacked deli counter with the world's most exquisite cheeses, cured meats, foie gras, fresh breads, jams, marmalades, coffee, tea and soooo much more. Plus they're licensed and BYO, and so very lovely x
