Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend - July 24 + 25, 2010



This years Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend looks to be one well worth attending with a hive of activity and exciting presentations on subjects such as Queensland seafood, cocktails, chocolate and pastry and blending of spices. This year's event will be held on July 24 and 25.

The presenters are Chef Alastair McLeod (Bretts Wharf), Chef David Pugh, Wine Consultant Ben Edwards and respected food and wine commentator and author Peter Howard.

Queensland Catch - see and taste what 2 Queensland chefs, Nick Holloway and Russell Armstrong, cook up with an abundance of fresh Queensland seafood.

Martin Boetz (originally from Brisbane) from the famed Longrain will be flying in to present Asian Affairs with Luke Nguyen. This is set to be a great class with Thai vs. Vietnamese. I'm sure all will enjoy the dishes they will devise matched with the aromatic Granite Belt wines that so suit this style of food, presented by leading consultant and master of wine, Peter Scudamore-Smith.



Sunshine Coast based chef Matt Golinski from Noosa catering company The Rolling Dolmade, which produces a mezze range based on locally sourced ingredients,and is a regular on TV show Ready Steady Cook tackles the challenge of what bites pair with big rich wines in the Greatness of the Graveyard, Vintage Room session.



Being into desserts as I am, two things set to blow my head back are:
Chocolate On My Mind . A sensory and sensual journey through the wonderful world of chocolate from bean to bar, under the guidance of Lindt Master Chocolatier Thomas Schnetzler.
The other one would be the Passionate Patissier with Adriano Zumbo from Balmain. Indulge in his famous French macaroons or his luscious cakes and pastries lauded as unique in concept and execution.
