Ok. So this is a video of OK, Go, on treadmills. High. Frickin. Larious.
Nothing can quite compare to low budget, high imagination.

Just a quick glimpse at what I'm cooking up for the next Match Made in Heaven.
Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup with Black Pepper Chevin & Herbed Croutons
Char-Siu Glazed Salmon on Asian Vegetables
Biltong Flavoured Springbok Loin on Butternut & Potato Cakes with Beetroot Jus
Sweet Basil & Ricotta Tart with Balsamic Reduction
Chocolate & Cherry Terrine Slice with Frangelico Chantilly Cream
For those of you not in the know, the MMiH is a 5-course (well, duh) tasting menu, accompanied by 6 bottles of wine (this month, Newton Johnson will be supplying the wine). Tables sit in groups of 6-10, and decide as a team which wine goes best with which course. The team must then suggest what to serve with the remaining wine. The team that most closely matches the winemaker's choices wins the best prize, although usually all the teams get at least a token prize (usually more wine...).
Also, I must thank my former teacher, Chef Garth Stroebel, for the springbok recipe, which I have unabashedly stolen (although I've tweaked it to avoid utter plagiarism) from his cookbook. Having been at the college when he cooked most of those dishes, I can pretend he taught me personally. Anyhow, he told me to steal good recipes whenever I could, so I'm taking his advice, as well as his recipe.
