Karen’s corporate job back in the UK had included entertaining clients in some of the best restaurants. This ultimately sparked a curiosity 'Just how do they do that?' (she confesses she was brought up on meat and vegetables, so this was all very exciting).

Hotel Review: Manly Pacific Sydney – MGallery Collection, villa ocean views, Bistro Manly with ‘that scallop risotto’, wonderful beachy service to top off the best seaside staycation in Sydney
