As we head into Australian Open finals week, it’s time to prepare for hours of TV viewing… accompanied by the perfect tournament menu, of course. Tennis Court Torte, anyone?
We know there’s some important tennis watching to be done this week – so much so that you may not have had time to think about dinner. Whether it’s women’s doubles or men’s singles semi finals, we’ve got your meals, snacks, and beverages sorted this tennis tournament season.

Murray Curry
He took out Jereny Chardy to secure a place in the semis. If you’re rooting for Andy Murray to win his second consecutive Open, show your support for the Scottsman by cooking up a curry.

And so, with this in mind, lobster is our meal accompaniment of choice for the Swiss Missile. The following recipe is a great Summery way to serve up the delicious crustacean.
