Welcome to a delightful adventure in food. Knife, fork and friends in hand.

Buzo, Birthdays, Breaks and Blogging

OK, so this post is not about an adventure with my fellow knife and forkers. So what is it about? Well thank you for asking.

With just under four weeks to our next Knife and Fork Adventure I'm having blogging withdrawals. So, my new found love of blogging combined with a birthday and a pending Italian holiday has led me to share this weeks foodie experience with you. Buzo, Woollahra.

An Italian trattoria set in a delightful 2 story building in Jersey Road was the site of a birthday celebration. Combined with my own little celebration- a pending Italian vacation. Good thing the guest of honour likes Italian food too!

The menu was considered. To start some antipasti. A sublime baked gnocchi with walnuts and gozgonzola stole our hearts. Gorgeously cooked scallops with crushed chickpeas, chilli and lemon also took our fancy.

With a selection of pasta and other dishes for secondi, we settled on a mushroom and pancetta lasagne and a freshly caught fillet of gemfish. To share of course! Washed down nicely with a bottle of chianti.

As I pondered my Italian vacation, where to go, what to do, what cooking school to discover, I felt most at home. Buzo- thank you for sharing.
