In Pictures: Black Hat Prosecco Lunch

Social

One thing is clear I need some decent lenss for the new camera; this old kit lense from the 350D just doesn't cut it, especially in low light levels... I'll just have to sell a body organ or two...

Here we are at a secret Black Hat lunch somewhere in north London. Our table was hosted by Douglas Blyde and Riccardo Prosecco, who provided the wines to accompany each course. A mighty fun time was had by all even if the wait between courses was exceedingly long! For a little more flavour of the event do have a watch of the Wine Passionistas little video - it imparts more of the feel of the lunch than these still images...

The idea behind these pop-up lunches is the secret location...

The starter, pre and post, charring in an outside oven... sardines I believe, a rather good match with a 'still' Riccardo Prosecco (although it did have a little petulance to it!)

The main course, a rubbish photo (see I told you I need to invest in some decent lenses!) of the roast pork with a decent slice of crackling on the top.

Our host - Riccardo Tomadin of Prosecco Riccardo with Niamh and Denise - discussing Prosecco no doubt, or under-ware or somesuch...

The dessert, a really tasty tart with a North African or Middle Eastern influence I believe... a little too sweet to manage the Riccardo Cartisse Prosecco and the accompanying ice-cream deadened the wine. On their own though delightful...
