A Moveable Feast: This Week In Food, January 20
THIS WEEK IN FOOD
SPARKLING STREET FOOD
What can’t Italy do? I’ll tell you what they can do – gorgeous prosecco, and lip-smacking street food. So why not combine the two? Well you can, in a special dinner being put on by the Prosecco Queen, Mel Brauer, and Italian cookbook author and blogger Paola Bacchia. It’ll be held at GG’s in East Melbourne on Friday 24th Feb, and $95 will get you a range of Italian antipasto and street food dishes paired with six proseccos.
