Walkthrough of the Prize Winning Dinner

Forte Catering & Events were over on Cockatoo Island in February, catering O’Brien Glass’ ‘Best of Australia’ Dinner. The guests arrived on the island after taking a scenic 90 minute cruise around the gorgeous harbour ready for the main event.

On arrival guests were greeted with Australian sparkling wine and a delightful antipasto selection to dine on whilst soaking in the breathtaking view from the Naval Store courtyard. Guests then made their way into the white wash blue hued room to be seated before served the indulgent entrée of, Crystal Bay king prawns w caramelised fuji apples & salt crust crackling and bocconcini & truffled mushroom tartlet, shaved fennel salad and lemon dressing was served for the vegetarians.

The night then progressed to the main course which saw the delicately crafted Corn-fed chicken ballotine, pistachio & apricot casalinga, parsnip crisps, sherry vinegar jus, smoked sea-salt crusted lamb loin, heirloom tomato, buckwheat & green olive tapas, with the vegetarian option consisting of goats cheese gnocchi, caramelised pumpkin, sage and toasted pine-nuts.

Thank you for your incredible support throughout the planning and implementation of our 2014 Best of Belron Australia event. Both the competition at Alexandria and the dinner on Cockatoo Island were resounding successes and both received high praise from all who attended. Your attention to detail and professionalism in managing this event was outstanding and I wish you much success in the future. - O'Briens Glass

The event formalities directly preceded the main course which saw the O’Brien team anxiously await the announcement to who won the glazier’s competitions and the unbelievable trip to Italy to compete in the world championships.

The announcements were then soon followed by the exquisite dessert of soft passionfruit meringue w sour cherries & rhubarb and dark chocolate opera cake w smoked pecan brittle.

Additionally Forte Catering & Events made significant enhancements to the venue by using the rustic appearance of the Naval Store and complementing it by positioning soft blue lights and arranging 4 plasma screens to play the video presentation of the recorded glazier competition.
