Zoe's baptism lunch

Sausage rolls and spinach and ricotta parcels

My last day at work was also my birthday, and I wanted something really good for my morning tea. Something good meaning something served hot – with pastry!

Chicken noodle soup from Carillon Food Hall

On the Saturday Jac and I went into the city to find me a wedding outfit (we’d found Jac’s dress in a boutique in Mount Lawley earlier that week), we had lunch in the Carillon Food Hall.
