Adriano Zumbo Patissier, Balmain

Most of you may have seen by now Adriano Zumbo’s new range on Citrus and Candy, The Heart of Food, Raspberri Cupcakes, Not Quite Nigella, A Table for Two, Chocolate Suze, The Way it Crumbles, Leave Room For Dessert, Grab Your Fork, Foraging Otaku, Pikelet & Pie, Ooh, Look…, and finally, Something to Nibble on

So here are some photos of some of the tasty treats on offer. I am experimenting a little with my photography having started a class. If the pics look crap, I apologise in advance!

Zumbo’d!

So a whole bunch of us foodbloggers descended on Adriano Zumbo’s delightful little hole in the wall to sample his new Summer range. I’ve decided that instead of me sticking my pics up, I’m just going to link to everyone else’s post. You may discover some new and intriguing bloggers who take your fancy!

Rock the Kazbah

Balmain, how I love thee, because Adriano Zumbo resides there and so does Kazbah! I’ve been wanting to go here ever since I’d heard of it, but hadn’t managed it until now.

My first impression of the restaurant is fantastic, sitting on a corner, with big open windows on to the footpath and gorgeous decor, it’s a lovely space, but I soon realised it’s shortcomings. It’s very, very noisy. We had difficulty speaking to each other across the din. You would think that with the wooden floors etc, that they might put some kind of dampening/baffles to cut the noise down, but no such luck.

Adriano Zumbo

So, after all these months of reading about Adriano Zumbo’s incredible confections, I had to get my butt over to Balmain to finally try these creations out. My boyfriend came with me, and as mentioned in other posts he hates me taking photos of food, and thinks my foodie hobby is boring (BTW he’s obsessed with Star Wars).

So we had an undocumented lunch at a place called Trojan’s on Darling St. Food, meh..nothing special and fairly overpriced, with pretty patchy service.

Realising that we also had to vote moved us on pretty quickly. So up we wandered, popped into Victoire on the way, but my real mission was Zumbo’s.

I spotted it across the road, and my heart skipped a beat!

We dashed across the road, but could not have been prepared for the sight of these extraordinary creations. At this point I’d like to mention that I did not get the names of every goodie purchased, so please help me fill in the blanks.
