croisette and cocktails - a foodie based post from Cannes

As McCann left... in came the Gunners.

We began with a reunion lunch, all sat round the table catching up, chatting and some meeting for the first time. The team flew in from all over the world and Maria and her team utterly spoilt us with a gorgeous sit down meal to kick off our Cannes.

We started with a white and green asparagus, wild mushroom, parmesan and white balsamic salad and BBQ flat peaches with prosciutto, pecorino fresco, truffle and honey.

The main course was incredible - radicchio and strawberry risotto with balsamic oil. The dessert stole the show and was perfect on a hot, sunny day in Cannes - avocado sorbet with chocolate and coffee ganache, coffee jelly, cocoa soil and chocolate popping candy. YUM.

Lunch finished and we started getting ready for our first big dinner. The tables were set for 40 fabulous dinner guests and the evening kicked off with mojitos and some great music from Massive Music.

Dinner was delicious. We were treated to a selection of salads & huge platters of pulled pork wraps. 

A totally gorgeous evening spent in amazing company. Looking forward to doing it all again tonight!
