The best of the 2010 Hilton Brisbane
Masterclass Weekend
The 2010 Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend has been and gone and
what a weekend it was.
Two Michelin star chef Michael Caines MBE wowed the guests with four
fabulous dishes that showed why he is so highly respected. Michael finished
the weekend by presenting a 7-course dinner of outstanding food that had
guests on the edge of their seats.
Susur Lee was one of the early instigators of fusion food and with
restaurants stretching from Canada, USA and across to Singapore he
showed us a style of food that is rarely shown here that gave us a greater
understanding of east meets west.
If you didn’t have the chance to see the stars of the Masterclass Weekend,
here is your opportunity to taste their creations.
For the month of August 2010 The Atrium will feature a select menu
showcasing the best of the 2010 Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend.
