Epicurean Delights worth Trip to Australia, Menu for Hope 5 Down Under

What is Menu for Hope if you wondered?
It brings bloggers the world over who use their combined power to raise funds for the UN World Food Programme.

After stops in Paris and on the West Coast, I continue my Menu for Hope 5 exploration.

After seeing the embarrassment of riches listed as Menu for Hope 5 prizes by Ed Charles on Tomato, my own offering might pale in comparison.

These Epicurean delights by themselves might justify a trip to Australia.

Let me note first A tasting menu with matched wines for 2 people worth $460 at the Royal Mail Hotel, Dunkeld (Prize Code AP04).

Royal

The hotel (pictured above) is described as "a unique rural destination set among native gardens and fruit orchards with stunning views of the Southern Grampians Ranges. Accommodation, an award winning restaurant and wine cellar, bistro, public bar, meeting and conference facilities and the historic Mt Sturgeon Estate and homestead are all available for guests to explore and enjoy".

Want Room and Board, the 1 nights accommodation and a 3 course meal for 2 at the Provenance Restaurant in Beechworth (Prize Code AP11) is just for you.

A quick look at their site seems to indicate that they have a fondness for artichokes (see below).

Makes me wish I could fly there and gives you an idea of how global an effort Menu for Hope is.

If these prizes wet your appetite for food and travel down under visit the Donation Page and open your wallet and your heart...

Merci beaucoup

Elizabeth Day in Only 15 of Brittany's Onion Johnnies survive (Guardian, December 21, 2008) seems to conclude that they are about to join the list of Endangered Species in the UK. They were honored by Ian MacDougall in his book Onion Johnnies (cover above, 2002), a portrait of...

It is not just Chrysler closing offices and factories this holiday season. As Chris Nuttall and Richard Waters report in Financial Times (December 22), a Christmas shut-down in Silicon Valley will take place from December 22 to January 5th. Did you go from complaining about the lack of leisure and the always on work culture to being upset at being forced to have idle time? Are you taking it in stride and using these 12...
