There's something about a tasting menu that just hits different - especially when it comes with a guest chef takeover. Treadwell within The Store is starting a chef take over series, kicking off with Sabrina Gidda plating up on the 13th and 14th Feb, and Nicola and I were kindly invited to go along on the Friday night sitting.

Their new cookbook is displayed across the restaurant for guests to flick through and it’s gorgeous; another thing now on my wish list. I also became a little obsessed with their cartoon … [Read more...]
