What's On in Berwick & Beyond- October 9th-11th.

Spring is most definitely in.

Here is my list of what’s on in Berwick and beyond this weekend.

Enjoy.

Bake

For entrée why not try Nigella Lawson’s Marsalla Honey Pears with Gorgonzola. This is one of my favourite recipes and it is simple too!
For mains, Emma from “Emma’s Garden Grows” shares her Lentil, Chorizo and Silverbeet Stew.
For dessert you might try the Salted Caramel Slice with some vanilla bean ice-cream.

Or you can check out my Pinterest page for a host of other great recipes.

Make

Sam Michelle is a local Berwick girl and an amazing artist. You may have seen her work hanging on the walls of Primary@ Pioneer Park Cafe. Well the good news is she runs art classes. Why not book in for one of them? Go here to find out more.
I also found this blog, of local girl Rochelle. Rochelle loves her paper craft and card making and her enthusiasm is infectious.
Paperworks Gallery in Berwick are also running their own weekly art classes. Aren’t we lucky to have so much talent in one area?

Buy

Farmers Market at the Old Cheese Factory is on in Berwick this Saturday morning. Herbs, strawberries, cheese and more. Yum!
Or, the brand new Belgrave Farmers Market launches this Saturday morning. 8.30am to 1.30pm. Go along to show them your support.
Or if a quiet stroll through a beautiful gift store is more your thing, you have to visit Seven Pages in Sassafras. Do all your gift shopping in one place and support this local business.

Dine

Restaurant Lume has just one a whole swag of awards and it is now on my must try list.
I recently had a quick coffee at Round Bird Cant Fly in Lilydale and I am keen to return. This might be something to do with their amazing sounding “Brioche French toast with macerated berries and chai ice-cream.”
I have heard a lot of good things about Forest Edge Restaurant in Gembrook, but I have never visited. It think it must be about time I changed that.

Visit

There are a few great events on this weekend including

Read

I have been reading a lot from Maxabella Loves lately. She writes in a wonderfully cheerful and engaging way about raising children, parenting, and just being human. I think you will enjoy reading her blog too.
I met Dhanya from The Spice Adventurous recently. She has an amazing food blog with a long and varied list of recipes. Plus, she is local and she is lovely. Check her out!
Looking for a great book recommendation? I always am…. I just finished reading “All the light we cannot see” by Anthony Doerr. I. loved. it. Such a delicate but powerful story full of characters that you will not forget.

That is it. I hope you find something wonderful to do, read, see or make this weekend. Don’t forget to take a moment, preferably with a lovely cup of tea.
