Celebrating Autumn Dinner

Friday night was such a great success celebrating the food of Autumn.


We kicked the dinner off with a lovely piece of infinity walnut bread with goats cheese and my honey roasted pear.


Second course was a recipe given to me by my brother, the famous Andy Logue - figs with Gorgonzola and prosciutto baked in cream. OMG!!


Main course was a roasted scotch fillet from Cape Grim. Tender and succulent with a mountain of forest mushrooms on top and a lovely red wine jus.

Then for dessert I served a classic apple pie with crumble topping, vanilla bean ice cream and cinnamon anglaise.


What a night!



Roll on celebrating winter, I say! :)

Happy eating,

Mother's Day

Victoria sponges and chicken finger sandwiches remind me of my grannies, although, I thought they would be a special addition to our Mother's Day offering this year.

It's been a long time since I have posted a blog. It seems there are never enough hours in the day! Anyway, here I am to tell you all about how we are celebrating Mother's Day this year and the plans we have to spoil our mums.

I'm so excited about the new cake in my repertoire, the Victoria sponge, which I've decided to launch on the Mother's Day weekend. It is a beautiful and buttery vanilla pound cake with lashings of my home made strawberry jam, softly whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. The large size is only $58.00 and cuts into 12 slices beautifully. The small size is more suited to 6-8 people and only costs $32.00.


I am also offering my gorgeous little chicken finger sandwiches in a box of 24 for the special Mother's Day price of $60.00. I just thought they would be a lovely pass around item before lunch or dinner or a nice picnic idea if you are going to the park with the family.

I am having my family over to the house for shared platters down the middle of the table. This is such a hassle free way of entertaining as I can prepare it pretty well the night before so I can spend the day with my mum.

I can make platters for you too if you would like the Simmone Logue fairies to just show up at your house and drop it off. All you need to do is add in the champagne. The selection consists of herb crusted roast sirloin, poached ocean trout, rocket salad, homemade potato salad, sourdough bread rolls and petit fours. This buffet menu only costs $60.00 per person.

We look forward to seeing you in store to pick up your cake. Make sure you call our team at head office on (02) 9519 3680 and place your booking to ensure you don't miss out! The finger sandwiches and shared platter menu can be ordered through our head office on that number too.

My Double Bay and Cammeray stores will be open all day on Mother's Day for brekkie and serving beautiful coffee and patisseries so come on down with your mum and join us for a lovely day.

Happy Mother's Day and bon appetite!
