Events Spring 2010 hilton.com The best of the 2010 Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend The 2010 Hilton Brisbane Masterclass Weekend has been and gone and what a weekend it was. Two Michelin star chef Michael Caines MBE wowed the guests with four fabulous dishes that showed why he is so highly respected. Michael finished the weekend by presenting a 7-course dinner of outstanding food that had guests on the edge of their seats. Susur Lee was one of the early instigators of fusion food and with restaurants stretching from Canada, USA and across to Singapore he showed us a style of food that is rarely shown here that gave us a greater understanding of east meets west. If you didn’t have the chance to see the stars of the Masterclass Weekend, here is your opportunity to taste their creations.
