I had never made a pasta with figs before, and we'd been getting some awesome white figs, i happened to be reading Pasta sfoglia and they had a pasta with figs. I changed it a little by putting roasted walnuts and saffron fettucine. It came out pretty good.
Poached rhubarb tart.
Smoked duck breast is one of my favorite things, and here its served with pan fried kipfler potato gnocchi and fennel puree.
