May 2011 Kangaroo Valley Voice www.kangaroovalley.nsw.au Page 15 Win a great dinner—Valley Voice launches new readers contest Who would you have at your table This month we launch a new competition for our readers. All you have to do to win a magical meal for two at the fabulous Jing Jo Thai Restaurant is to let your imagination loose on an interesting concept. Imagine you are planning to have a dinner party (in your own home) with spouse or partner as co-host and can invite four people to share the table. You can ask any person you wish to nominate from history or from the world of today. Gender is irrelevant (all males, all females or any combination of the sexes) that is up to you. Perhaps you might choose, Colonel Ghaddafi, Mahatma Ghandi, Mother Teresa and Winston Churchill as a group. Or Benazir Bhutto, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher and Madame Curie Or if sport is your go something like, Sir Donald Bradman, Mohammed Ali, Betty Cuthbert and Yvonne Goolagong could be an interesting group. For those of deeper thought what about Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare and Rousseau sharing the “nosh up” In addition to the names you choose please write a short paragraph of why you have nominated each person to your dinner party and what you were setting out to achieve in the balance. And lastly (apart from your name and contact details) what taste sensations will your guests receive on your menu for a three course dinner To give you some inspiration we have sample entries from Rosemary Stanton and “The seasonal chef” two of our Valley Voice columnists. Who I would ask to dinner From the seasonal chef So the brief is to create a three course meal with four guests from the past or present. Hmmm, where do I start So many possibilities, who do I invite and what are we eating… where are we at that time Letting the imagination run wild for a while this is what I came up with. Picture this… sitting in plush velvet chairs at a long wooden table in a 1400 century castle on the North York moors. It’s the middle of winter and we have open fires raging the table lit by candlelight while the wine has been flowing. Sitting at my table are four guests that have all been chosen for a specific reason. Apart from these four guests my family and friends are all sitting around to enjoy this joyous occasion as well. Hey if you can bring people back from the dead I’m sure we can sneak in a few extra people right! My Guests, Frank Sinatra For every great feast you should always have some amazing entertainment. So Old Blue Eyes will be singing for his supper tonight. Roald Dahl As well as great music we all need an amazing story teller. To be able to sit down and revisit the stories from my childhood by this author would be priceless. Heston Blumenthal Heston is one chef that I really admire for his brilliant work in the culinary field. His food is crazy but delicious and has a real twist. Hopefully he might share some of his journeys and give us an insight into his warped mind. Leonardo di Vinci This guest is here to be my Pictionary partner for obvious reasons. Hopefully he may stay around long enough to give me some pointers on sketching as well. The Menu: Entrée Roast wild mushroom soup with chive cream served with sourdough and freshly churned butter Main Suckling pig with garden vegetables, crispy roast potatoes and red wine jus Dessert Trio of desserts- crème brulee, hazelnut gelato and sticky date pudding with toffee sauce Hope you enjoyed the evening as much as me. Goodnight! (Continued on page 25)
