Hi Renee,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure to cater for your dad’s birthday celebration. I’m thrilled to hear that you and your family felt spoilt by our service and that the day was both stress-free and memorable.
Kerry and Julie were so touched by your kind words – they always strive to go above and beyond, and I’m glad they helped make the occasion extra special.
Thank you again for trusting us with such an important celebration. I hope we can work together again in the future!
Warm regards,

Cherry tomatoes are coming into season now and this recipe for Whipped Feta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes makes the most of their sweetness by roasting them in this simple but stunning dish.
Perfect as a starter, for grazing tables, or paired with crusty bread and a glass of wine.
Whipped Feta with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients
250 g cherry tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tbsp olive oil for roasting
200 g feta cheese
2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp olive oil, extra
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Fresh thyme leaves and a drizzle of olive oil, to garnish
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan forced).
Place cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves on a lined baking tray.
Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
Roast for 20–25 minutes until tomatoes blister and caramelise.
While the tomatoes are roasting, blend feta, sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and olive oil in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with a little more yoghurt if needed to create a smooth and spreadable dip.
Spread whipped feta onto a shallow serving bowl or platter and top with roasted tomatoes and garlic.
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and scatter with thyme leaves.
Serve warm with toasted sourdough, crostini, or pita bread.
