Food is passion and brings people together

Hi there Mosman lovers



Are you feeling passionate or are we just friends?

I know you live in your own beautiful part of the world and you have your own providores (new word for me, Italian for providers), but the putting together of the antipasto plate for Christmas, requires skill, research and passion. 
Quattro Formaggi deli  - one of our local providors in Raglan Road, Mosman, has the mantra "Food is passion and brings people together."
Putting together an antipasto plate to serve with Christmas drinks is an easy matter when you have a fantastic variety of cured meats, cheeses and accompaniments such as below.



Barossa Smoked Wagyu Beef
Traditionally cured, cold smoked and heat treated.
Perfect served with a Hunter Valley Shiraz

Taleggio Cheese Proven to be addictive.
Semi-soft, washed-rind from Northern Italy
Serving suggestion - Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir

Happy Christmas Drinks

Claire

Quattro Formaggi Deli offers the best from Italy and abroad with a wide range of cheeses, antipasto, cured meats sliced on demand, estate olive oils, vinegars ....

Mosman Meanders great for summer reading

 
Hi Mosman lovers
I look forward  to summer reading because that's when I can lose myself in a good book. A favourite activity is to  plonk myself in a comfortable chair, preferably with water views and become immersed in the latest book usually recommended by a friend whose judgement I trust.
 
Then there are books which enhance the holiday and Mosman Meanders is such a book especially if you live in Sydney.  Thanks to public vigilance and the Harbour Trust, the former military reserves have been  preserved, making it possible to walk from Cremorne Point to the Spit via Balmoral.
You can learn about some of the history of the area and sample some foreshore flavours at local cafes.
 
Have fun
Claire
