New years eve 2009

Ah… feeling really nostalgic this week. Remembering the amazing evening that was New years eve on Sydney harbour with Sophie, Bob and about 10 mates. It was stunning,  because of the natural beauty of the location, the amazing fireworks, but also, because if there is one thing Australians do really well, it’s incinerate meat in any location… even off the back of a boat.

I’ve paid a lot for these Ozzie classics at the Grocer on Elgin the Kiwi gourmet store in Notting Hill, and finally decided to make my own, especially as Sacha hoovers them up so fast! The thing is, I modified the original recipe with orange zest and a spoon of orange blossom water, which makes them just that little bit more exotic. You can add cinammon and chili, or chopped apricots and raisins. Anything goes, but it’s important to use Golden syrup for the real Anzac flavour. A full box will last a day or two in this household.

Always fiish my trips to Melbourne on Victoria St with the family. We go crazy, 6-8 of us, polishing off plate after plate of fish, and squid and crabs and greens. It’s true delicious fresh carnage.
