Brunch with may

21st December 2018

My first little brunch That i organised!

Every year my workplace has a morning tea get together and secret Santa. This year I was able to organise it and decided that I didn’t want the usual morning tea and opted that instead everyone could give in money to me and I would make and buy food and set it up for everyone. I only ended up getting everyone to pitch in $10! Two people ended up not being able to come so more food for the rest and I would say I probably did put in more - I also didn’t charge for electricity, water, gas or labour hahah. Truly did it for the sake of wanting everyone to have healthier food and to allow myself to experiment with recipes.

I was able to make my pork belly for everyone as well which was definitely a highlight! After everyone had seen it on MKR and knowing it was a success I was excited to have everyone try it .

It was a lot of work because I was also moving out of home on the same day! So had to really organise when I was making and preparing food as well as moving out my things from home. It was worth it though. I didn’t manage to make everything I wanted to but I also made a beautiful blue cheese cheesecake which everyone really loved and managed to make again. It will definitely be a staple in my home one day :)

Here are a few pics of the day. I was distracted by steaming up the dumplings and bao - yes I cooked on the spot on the day as well hahaah. I was rather ambitious..

Grapes, hummus, pesto, nectarines and peaches, pork belly, roasted potatoes, cheese, cureD meats and crackers!
