If you want to know about whiskey, Bryony is your girl. Her knowledge of Scottish Whiskey is excellent and well listen.
And so we spotlight Bryony Seehuusen. Many of you will know Bryony who has worked with us for some time now. A Scottish lass, Bryony has worked with some very elite establishments in both Scotland and Sweden. She came one night for dinner and loved it so much she decided to join the PiPi team. Bryony was introduced to Hospitality by her parents as child labour at the tender age of 11. She went on to work in bars and restaurants to fund her studies and was the youngest person to ever manage Bellhaven Brewries in Scotland.
Employed at the oldest Hotel in Sweden, Stora Hotellet, Bryony has looked after the likes of Abba, the Swedish Royal Family and many other Swedish celebrities. (not listed because we don’t know them!!) As another string to her bow, Bryony was the first girl to ever lead the Drummers in the Pipe Band at Edinburgh Castle.

Well we had cyclonic weather and an oil slick, but it didn’t stop us from enjoying another successful Mooloolaba Mile. Alyce McKenzie defended her Elite title yet again. Nick Lorenz lost
his Elite title to Peter Bock. The Hot Pipis corporate team not only won their team event, but the boys also came 1st, 2nd & 3rd in their age categories as well.
Each year this event grows stronger and stronger. This year included not only the hugely popular Beach Volleyball and Fun Run, but also a Dash for cash event, Sandsculpting & the very
popular “Dig for Treasure” The major prize for the ‘dig’ was a helicopter joy flight, kindly donated by Grant Kenny.
Now it’s time to gear up for next year’s Mile. I believe strongly in this event. It’s family orientated, fun & challenging & great for Mooloolaba. It promotes families first, health and is destined to become a major local attraction. It would be great to receive strong interest and support from other local businesses, so if you are interested, please let me know: info@hotpipis.com.au
Yalumba Wine Dinner
Well, we’ve started preparing for our third Wine Maker’s Dinner due to the success of our second one, which was held on the 25th March. The wine was chosen from the Yalumba range and Head Chef Dan created some amazing meals to compliment the wines. Darren Cosgrove, from Yalumba was an enthusiastic speaker who clearly loves his wine and food matching. He happily shared his knowledge with all our guests, flitting from table to table with great pleasure.
Yalumba Voignier was matched with Smokey Venison Prosciutto w a caramelised fig, creamy goats curd & wild endive salad.
Pewseyvale Riesling matched with Noosa Sandcrab ravioli in a prawn & lemon myrtle infused bisque w shaved Pecorino cheese A lemon sorbet palette cleanser was followed by my favourite….
Yalumba Patchwork Shiraz matched with Sezchaun pepper crusted Lamb Backstrap resting on desisee potato & truffle oil fondant w braised red witlof & a kasmundi jus
Heggies Botrytis Riesling matched with Lime Bavarois w charred white peach & cham-pagne crème.
The wine flowed freely and everyone had a great time.
The next Wine Maker’s Dinner will be on Thursday the 18th June. Will keep you posted!
This delightful dish is simple, yet amazingly tasty.
O’ What a Night!
The ingredients were fine wine, delectable food, a warm and intimate atmos-phere, great service and not to mention the wine maker himself. What does all this equal – The Preveli Wine Dinner at Hot Pipis. 70 guests were all treated to memorable evening.
Greg Home of Preveli Wines in Western Australia’s Margret River was on hand to share his secrets whilst guests enjoyed his fruits of labour! Greg showcased four of his wines which are all made and grapes sourced around the Coast of Margaret River. Each wine was then matched by one of Dan (Head Chefs) mouth watering dishes. As guests wined and dined Greg walked them through the processes from vineyard to our hot little hands. The Preveli Wine Dinner was a huge success.
The wine flowed freely and we all had a fantastic time. By popular demand, this event is now a regular on our calendar so get in now for the next one, due around the middle of March 2009.
