I’m taking a moment from baking and writing my speech (which I will publish here at some LATER point!), to post the menu for Boo’s big night. The chef has gone to great pains to assemble an assortment of dishes that are from sources as local as possible, organic and fair trade as well, where possible.
We are all in for a treat. Check it out!
