Noosa Food and Wine Festival here we come....

Today has been an awesome day...
We had some lovely guests at Freestyle Escape,I made them a yummy lunch and showed them around Property including the Arthouse ,Orchard and herb Garden.
after a little problem with my 4 wheel drive going side ways down hill,fortunately only me in at that stage,nearly had to change my undies....not joking on this occassion....

We drove to Noosa,
Australia's premier holiday destination,also on The Sunshine Coast .
which i adore,After checking into a lovely holiday Home on Canal,only few minutes walk to Hasting Street ,Beautiful
Tom and i Decided to dine at The River House Restaurant,located at 301 Weya Road ,Noosaville.
I must say during dinner i thought i had died and gone to heaven
service and food were great.....which is the norm at this particular Restaurant ,now one of my favs,with its white walls and linen,lots of timber ,as in floor,bar and chairs,Louvre windows with green hedge of lush plants outside and lit with garden lights,so simple yet beautiful
David Rayner is an amazing Chef and incredibly talented ,i love how he showcases local produce and the seasons....


Wine Choice tonight was from New Zealand's Cenral Otago. Isabel Pinot Gris ,fabulous....do try it if you see it on a list...
entree :Late season Figs,blue cheese fritters,smoked Almonds and asparagus...divine...
main : Noosa Spanner Crab,pomelo,fresh coconut,chilli,radish,basil and lemon oil
this dish was sublime....
we also had a side
local organic rocket,honey walnuts,parmesan and pear.had to try as it sounded ,and was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
then
Tom had a chocolate,hazlenut and green raisin tart
and i a sugar crusted soft meringue,vanilla cream,strawberries and strawberry sauce
