A great experience this week - Thursday evening we attended the launch of Stephanie Alexander's new book - an autobiography - "A Cook's Life". The launch and signing was at Readings Book Store and we thoroughly enjoyed Stephanie's presentation, including the free Brown Brothers' Prosecco. Stephanie is just as down to earth as she presents on TV and is a fine speaker with a warts and all story to tell. An absolutely delightful evening!
On the way home we stopped off at the new (6 months old) cafe in Ashburton - the Oak Room - a great modern-Thai menu and the food was delicious and quite inexpensive. Fortunately, we'd brought with us a bottle of Pepik Pinot Noir, which we thoroughly enjoyed. This place was written up in the coffee guide as having the best coffee in the east - we'll definitely be going back! http://oakroom.com.au
