Fettuccine was order of the day today!

All made on site fresh.

A few kilos for us, a few kilos for customers and 10 kilos for one of our restaurant clients.

Many say they make their own pasta, but we actually do...... Spaghetti, Fettuccine, Linguine, Tagliatelle........and of course the house favourite Spinach Fettuccine......

We do kilo portioned flat packs for home, will keep two weeks in the fridge and six months in the freezer.......so let us know if you want some provisions for that rainy day we are not open for takeaway....... 😀

Well, with a quiet week comes a bit of bulk cooking, because we hate wasting the amazing product we get from our suppliers.

I have more of our house chilli oil available:

Small jars; $5.00
Large jars, $10.00

I have also batched out some of our Romesco sauce, a Red capsicum, Onion, herb and tomato sauce, perfect for Arancini, pasta sauce, fish and pizza bases.

$25 per litre.

Limited available, so let me know what goes where......

Cheers,

John

The rare occasion of before and after photo......

Shanks are seared on the grill, then dry roasted briefly in the oven on high for 40 minutes. A further 40 minutes with some red and white w**e. We then thin and fine some of our house made Jus to become a stock and it will simmer on low heat dor two days.

The soft and tender lamb is then removed from the liquid, which is filtered and reduced to a lamv rich red w**e jus.

Add some whipped buttery potato masg and some greens for healthy effect and yiu have an instant fan favourite.......

See you all soon.

This is how it all starts.

Every day.

A clean kitchen, the hard work of the previous night made ready for the next day.

Busy or quiet the night before, it matters not. This is my first view of La Fett every day when I walk in the door.

Kudos to my boys for the care and diligence they give me to make the space ready for the next day.

Today's. Missions include pasta production for two other restaurants, all our Mis-en-ples for service and 2 cartons of local Tiger Prawns for many of our customers favourites......

GAME ON!!

Hello Everyone!

Ok, I have settled back in to the kitchen finally, so will be rolling out the weekly specials as I always used to do. Apologies for being off-line for extended times, Andrea has been away for 5 months and running the whole show by yourself can be a big job, so the small things like socials get hit the hardest.

So here we go:

Entree: Sauteed Tiger Prawns in a white w**e sauce, crispy bacon, chilli and shaved garlic. Served on our house made spinach fettuccine.

Pasta: Everyone's favourite Slow Braised Lamb Ragu through our Tagliatelle.

Main: Seared Pork Cutlet on roasted chats, green beans and shredded prosciutto, topped with a creamy seeded mustard sauce.

Dessert: Mum's sticky date pudding with a Pedro Ximinez Butterscotch Sauce and vanilla gelati.

See you all soon.......
