I am very sure that EVERYBODY saw the episode of Masterchef (Remember to join Chocolatesuze, A Table for Two, Grab Your Fork and many others on MC Chat for the last 2 eps!) with Adriano Zumbo yesterday so I felt obliged to do my long overdue post about the latest Zumbo collection – 40 Days and Nights in Paris.

Fortunately, my Mumsy’s Bday was coming up and it was the perfect excuse for delicious cocktails and even better food ^^! It was a pity that Martin was not there but the food was still mind-blasting :)
