Wine and Cheese Evenings 2009

Fraser's Wine & Cheese Evenings 2009

Our regular Wine & Cheese Evenings in the exclusive, intimate Fraser’s Private Dining Room have become extremely popular, with each one selling out well before the event.

We are fortunate enough to have one of Perth’s premier authorities on all things cheese, Mr. Nick Bath of Blue Cow Cheese Company (www.bluecow.com.au) as host for each evening, alongside some of Australia's best wine producers.

Guests receive a plate of cheeses that are matched to wines, with each expert talking you through each round. The usual format is six cheeses with six tastes (please note, they are not full glasses) of different wines. It's an exclusive yet rather informal evening where you'll learn a lot, as each speaker talks about their wine and cheese match and welcomes any questions from the group (maximum of 30 people). The events are held like an open forum, with all guests sitting around the one large boardroom-style table.

So if you’re an avid cheese and/or wine aficionado, join this very unique occasion to boost your wine and cheese knowledge, meet people and have a few laughs along the way…

Wine & Cheese Evenings 2009

Due to popular demand, we're be hosting more of the wine and cheese evenings, and also two wine and cheese dinners throughout. Feel free to mail Shenade to be popped on the News & Events e-mailing list so you don't miss out! Her email is marketing1@frasersrestaurant.com.au

Special Degustation Dinners by Chef Chris Taylor

Our Head Chef Chris Taylor has traveled to Bali, Mauritius, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, Phuket, Jakarta, Zimbabwe, London, Ireland, Korea, the United States and extensively throughout Australia, hosting cooking classes, dinners and gala events to educate chef's and the general public of the quality of produce available in Western Australia.

Chris is a big believer in showcasing West Australian produce. He also enjoys tapas and dim sum, where one can experience lots of small tastes, and many different flavours. Hence, he is big on degustation meals - a culinary term meaning "a careful, appreciative tasting of various foods", which focuses on the senses, and high culinary art.

Chef offers a Fraser's Degustation meal during any lunch or dinner setting (except special events), as long as he has a few days notice and there aren't too many large functions on. He creates the menu 'on-the-fly', depending on what your preferences are and what fresh WA produce is best that day. It will cost around $95 per guest (depending on what he serves) for a six-course meal, which includes dessert. Our sommelier can also ensure you receive a wine tasting perfectly matched to each course, for around $165 per guest.

It's a very impressive meal, with all the cutlery changes and different courses on varying plates - and a great way to showcase, or take your time and experience for yourself, the best produce that WA has to offer. Please contact the restaurant direct for bookings and enquiries. Tel: 9481 7100, Email: frasers@ca.com.au

Adult Cooking Classes 2009

These classes are perfect for anyone interested in learning new recipes, ideas & techniques from our head chefs here at Fraser's. The class is more of a 'demo' than a hands-on class. You'll be right in the heart of the kitchen, watching the chefs prepare some great dishes, whilst enjoying wine tasting from some of Perth's top wine gurus, including our bar staff! And of course, you'll be able to consume everything that is made on the day, and also take home recipe booklets so that you can re-create the dishes at home. It's a great afternoon.

Upcoming Adults Cooking Classes

*****

NEW 'Beef & Beers' Cooking Demonstrations at
THE OLD BREWERY
(our sister venue. 173 Mounts Bay Road, Perth)
$85 per guest

Calling all carnivores... this class is for you. Come along to the newly refurbished, revamped Old Brewery, to meet chef Greg Farnan and our new brewery Mark Reilly. We've just started brewing again, so the first part of the class is spent in the micro-brewery with our brewer Mark, checking out the vats, the brewing process and of course - pulling your own beers. He'll chat to you about each of our four brand new beers and any seasonal brews he's currently working on.

Then it's over to meet The Brewery's General Manager and Chef, Greg. He's travelled Australia & the globe to source the best meat & steaks, and he'll talk to you about his research 'from paddock to plate'. He'll show you his various cuts of meat and talk about what makes a great steak and more importantly, how to cook one. This 'class' is more of a cooking demo, rather than a hands-on class. Greg will share a taste of what he cooks - and you'll be able to see exactly where and how he works. A great afternoon for the blokes and ladies thoroughly enjoy these events too.

These classes with Greg are also available to corporate groups and can be booked out exclusively. The format will differ a little, ie - guests can perhaps have a nice big meal together at the end of it all. We can also do more of a general cooking demo, ie - that incldues seafood, pasta, salads, etc. We'll work with you to create a class that suits your team. Contact Shenade for further information.

Beef & Beers Cooking Demo's - Dates for 2009

Kids cooking classes 2009

Join us with your children for a great afternoon. The children will be in the kitchen with Fraser's chefs where they will prepare a selection of items. Each cooking class has a different theme. Kids of any age are welcome but they are usually suited to kids 6-12 years old. Any child interested in cooking or becoming a chef ( that isn't too shy!), is welcome to attend. Please consider that there may be a split of ages in each class, however our chefs aim to select the older ones for more involved tasks and demonstrations, so that they are a bit more challenged.

While the kids are hard at work, the adults will be enjoying a relaxing afternoon of wine tasting and gourmet nibblies out in Fraser's Restaurant. The cost is $35 per child and $35 per adult. One adult needs to attend to supervise the child(ren). The classes run from 3:00-5:00pm on a Saturday afternoon.

Each child will get a collection of the recipes made on the day to take home with them so that they can prepare the same wonderful meals at home. The children are also taken on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Fraser's kitchens and the Fraser's complex, where they will get a good feel of what it's really like to be a chef.

These classes can also be booked as private events for a very special "Children's Birthday Party". A venue hire fee is applicable, depending on numbers.

The dates of the Fraser's classes are listed below.
Please note that Kids Cooking Classes are also available at our sister venue, Bluewater Grill in Applecross; please visit: www.bluewatergrill.com.au ('About Bluewater', then 'News & Event') for further information.
