The summer was late to kick off this year but it hasn't stopped me from cooking some great BBQ food! I used a coal BBQ for my latest function, bringing a delicious natural smoky flavour to the whole menu. I catered for Al and Pat Duff and their family at their home, providing canapes, and a BBQ main course with a selection of desserts to finish.
I first met Al and Pat as guests at a previous Private Dinner Party where I served a fantastic three course menu. They were so solicitous and friendly, chatting about their upcoming daughters wedding and we arranged for myself to cater for a post celebration on the day after. It was to be a total surprise, so we had fun coming up with the menu together without any other family members finding out.
The day went brilliantly with so much positive feedback and fantastic compliments from the food and it was great to see Al and Pat again, who were great hosts for the day.
