Tuesday August 6th - MOVIE FEATURE - NIGHT AND DAY (rated M) 1946

Cary Grant, Alexis Smith, Monty Woolley, Jane Wyman, Mary Martin, Eve Arden    

  

  

 Swellegant and elegant. Deluxe and delovely. Cole Porter was the most sophisticated name in 20th century songwriting. Grant stars in this fanciful biopic. Alexis Smith plays Linda, whose serendipitous meetings with Cole lead to a meeting at the altar. More than 20 Porter songs grace this tale of triumph and tragedy.   

  

Course 1 - Cream of cauliflower soup with truffle crumble & sliced rustic loaf 

Course 2 - Spaghetti con polpettti  (spaghetti with meatballs) served with garden mesclun 

    

   

  

  

   

  

the party

Tuesday August 13th - MOVIE FEATURE- THE PARTY (rated PG) 1968

Peter Sellers, Claudine Longet  

  

A cult-favorite comedy. Hrundi V. Bakshi (Peter Sellers) is an accident-prone actor from India who has come to California, hoping to make a name for himself in Hollywood movies. However, Bakshi quickly makes the wrong impression on producer C.S. Divot (Gavin MacLeod) and studio chief Fred Clutterbuck (J. Edward McKinley) when he accidentally blows up the set for his first film. Clutterbuck jots down Bakshi's name to remind himself to have the actor blacklisted, but he doesn't realize that he's put the name on the guest list for an upcoming party at his home. Bakshi sees the social event as an opportunity to get back in Clutterbuck's good graces, but from the moment he arrives, one thing after another goes wrong, with increasing effect. Director Blake Edwards shot The Party with a minimal script to allow Peter Sellers and the other comic actors greater room for slapstick improvisation, which helps explain why many of the film's most memorable scenes feature little or no dialogue.  

  

Course 1 - Proscuitto wrapped figs with gorgonzola

Course 2 - Chicken parmigiana with tomato balsamic stew and salad 

  

  

 

Tuesday August 2oth - MOVIE FEATURE - THE STING (rated PG) 1973   

Paul Newman, Robert Redford

 

Winner of 7 Academy Awards, including best picture. Set in the 1930s this intricate comedy caper deals with an ambitious small time crook (Robert Redford) and veteran con man (Paul Newman) who seek revenge on the vicious crime lord who murdered one of their gang. How this group of charlatans puts "the sting" on their enemy makes for the greatest double-cross in movie history, complete with an amazing surprise finish.

 

Course 1 - Gnocchi with roast pumpkin, sweet potato and gorgonzola cream
Course 2 - Smoked lamb cutlets with mash and garden mesclun

 

  

  

  come september 

Tuesday August 27th - MOVIE FEATURE - COME SEPTEMBER (rated PG) 1961

Rock Hudson, Gina Lollobrigida, Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin  

Robert L. Talbot (Rock Hudson), an American millionaire, arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious Italian villa. His long-time girlfriend Lisa (Gina Lollobrigida) has given up waiting for him to "pop the question," and has decided to marry another man.

Talbot's sneaky major domo Maurice (Walter Slezak) secretly misappropriates the villa as a hotel while Talbot is away. The current guests of the "hotel" are a group of young American girls, including Sandy (Sandra Dee), trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys, led by Tony (Bobby Darin). Lisa ends up running back to Robert through the train station in her wedding dress. She borrows a bambino to get past the gate guard by claiming Robert's the father. We last see them arriving back at Robert's villa, which Maurice has once more turned into a hotel, this time with very different guests.  

 

 

Course 1 - Cream of cauliflower soup with truffle crumble & sliced rustic loaf 

Course 2 - Braised lamb shanks with mash and garden mesclun

Chef's News

 

What an exciting week it has been. At the ACT Southern Restaurant and Catering Awards we won BEST FINE DINING RESTAURANT and then RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR! Tanya and I would like to thank everyone at GRAZING for all their hard work. A restaurant is a massive team effort and every one of our staff plays an incredibly important role in the day to day operations of the restaurant.  

 

We are getting ready for the winter Fireside Festival and my kitchen team are preparing for the mammoth task which are our Duck and Pinot dinners. For the two dinners we need to prepare approximately 1400 plates of duck. After August, the kitchen team never want to see duck again! This famous dinner is not to be missed and we have very few places left, so get in quick to secure those last seats. 

 

Grazing is seeking the expertise of casual restaurant staff and apprentice Chefs (all stages) , so if you have the skills for these roles or have the desire to work in a dynamic fast pasted industry please forward your CV via email to [email protected]

In the Chef's garden
Did you know that;
* the GRAZING kitchen garden has been established for over 8 years
* the garden is spread over our 2 acres and comprises 28 formal vegetable beds, plus over 300 metres of other herb beds, berry plots, 2 orchards and rambling vegetables in every available space and pot.
* all our edible gardens are farmed organically.
* we have been growing and saving seeds of heirloom vegetables since the garden was created.
* we use soil based reed beds to treat all our restaurant waste water, which saves us 395,000 litres of water per year. We have found a place in Victoria that uses wet lands to treat water, but believe we are the only restaurant in Australia using the reed bed technology.
* we have approximately 40 chooks, two roosters; Leonard Cohen and Tiny Tim and 9 Pekin ducks. Our chooks and ducks produce stunning free range eggs for the restaurant, an abundance of fertiliser for the garden, help keep pests at bay and are a disposal source for kitchen and garden scraps.
* GRAZING has green table certification



Currently in season


* beetroot, mesclun, herbs, chioggia, kale, chard, spinach, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, rhubarb  and pumpkins

* 94/100 The Winefront

* WINE OF THE WEEK - 5 STARS - Chris Shanahan, The Canberra Times "It's not a case of move over shiraz. But Kyeema's 2009 merlot confirms Canberra has a second red variety in the top league. The latest and probably best from a long line of distinguished merlots from Andrew McEwin's Kyeema Vineyard. The colour is limpid, the aroma alluring and the palate elegant, albeit firmly tannic. But crack the nut of tannin and revel in the kernel of pure, juicy, plummy merlot underneath. It needs a good splash in the decanter before drinking now. But best enjoyed after another five or six years bottle age."

* 91/100 Nick Stock

 

 "This is Capital Wines' first sangiovese - sourced from three clones of the variety, including two of the noble "Brunello", grown at Pialligo Estate. It's pale-to-medium in colour and the aroma and flavour reveal the appealing fruitiness of the 2009 vintage - a character shining through across all the red varieties I've tasted. Although it's medium bodied, there's good, fleshly depth to the berry fruit flavours; and these are held in check by fine, savoury tannins and high acidity. The acidity adds to the structure and boosts the brightness of the fruit flavours."

Review by Winsor Dobbin

"Talk to many people in the wine industry and they'll tell you the ros� revolution is on the way. It's been coming for a couple of years now with an increasing number of producers opting to make savoury, dry ros�s rather than the liquid fairy floss that used to abound. There can hardly be a more appropriate style of wine for an Australian summer day than this delightfully refreshing number from a rising star winery in the Canberra region. Fresh and crisp, this has definite berries and cream character with a hint of fresh herbs. A really lovely wine for enjoying chilled with a picnic, sushi or Middle Eastern cuisine. $18.
