Our porkiest dinner of the year.

Chef Paul Cooper channels his inner pig to create this 5 course affair (plus all the extra piggy pieces Paul likes to produce) while your host Erez Gordon puts together a wine list guaranteed to interest, intrigue and intoxicate.

Warning: For serious pig fans only.

There are a million ways to spend Valentine’s Day and a million ways to celebrate your own unique love.

Ahem!

Of course there are. But who has time to think about them all when the fall-back option can be so…rewarding.

You might be considering a hot air balloon ride across rolling hills at dawn with vintage champagne in hand as the perfect scenario for you and your most cherished. A brilliant idea but dare we point out the early start?

Or perhaps you had a fairy tale carriage ride in mind, complete with white stallions and a top-hatted gentleman at the reigns? Also an amazing idea but,think about it, how many carriages are there in Sydney?

We know you have done all the right things and dutifully considered all these ideas. We also know chances are you haven’t actually organised anything of the sort. Don’t ask us how we know. We just do.

We also know you’ll have to do something to mark the day and this is where we come in. At lunch or dinner we can provide you with an opportunity to spend some quality time together over a few plates of lovingly created food whilst clutching glasses of lovingly made wine.

(Please tell us if we’ve overdone the ‘lovingly’ bit. Can you ever overdo the ‘lovingly’ bit?)

You know what I mean. As long as January is still hanging around we can fool ourselves into thinking Summer and all of its holiday glory rest on our shoulders like a royal mantle making anything possible.

Yet today January is no more than a memory. The kids are back at school and we can only console ourselves with the idea of an Easter long weekend seemingly months away.

Or can we?

Many things exist to ease the pain of a lost summer and the seemingly infinite stretch of time between you and your next meaningful respite. Opium is one of those things but we clearly are not recommending that as an option.

Instead our suggestion is something a little more prosaic (and legal) yet just as effective. Give yourself something to look forward to and book for this month’s I Dream of Pork dinner.

This is the culinary equivalent of an opiate induced hallucination. Mountains of crispy, juicy, tender pork, barrows of smokey bacon, troughs of tasty offaly treats, washed down with a never ending stream of fermented grapes crushed by divine and dainty feet.*

It follows then, if you are not an opium addict and do not possess the patience of Job then you need a little something in your immediate future gauranteed to make you smile and we think this dinner is just the ticket.
