Of course, we're not just talking a simple bowl of pasta - let's face it, Milky Lane doesn't do things in halves. The eatery has brought its over-the-top flare to the humble pasta dishes for their new November additions to the menu.

First up on its new additions is a carbonara cob loaf. As a carbs on carbs kind of meal, this is definitely one for cheat day. The rustic sourdough toasted cob loaf is filled with Milky Lane's rich, house-made fettuccine carbonara and topped with parmesan and fresh shallots.

If that's too many carbs for your liking - but you're still in the mood for pasta - take a look at the carbonara fried chicken tacos. Unlike other tacos, the shell has been replaced with a piece of fried chicken, filled with the cheesy carbonara, and topped with parmesan.

But would a Milky Lane menu be without the addition of some new, next-level drinks?

The Movie Time cocktail is a popcorn and chocolate flavoured boozy concoction, with chocolate, butterscotch schnapps, vodka and thickshake mix. It's dressed in a Nutella and salted caramel rimmed glass crowned with popcorn flavoured foam and finished with popcorn, Maltesers and Nutella drizzle.

For a non-booze drink, there's the Milky Bar and raspberry bullet megashake. Think vanilla frost, white choc raspberry bullets, strawberry sauce, and Nutella that melts in your mouth.

And if that wasn't enough sweet treats for one outing, there's also a Caramilk apple pie - a deep-fried golden puff pastry-wrapped Caramilk apple pie served with vanilla ice-cream, chopped Caramilk and a creamy Caramilk pouring custard.

Head to Muse on December 4, and join winemaker Chris Carpenter from Lark Hill Biodynamic Winery for a delicious five-course lunch paired with matching wines made by the man himself.

Carpenter will also be on hand to pour and chat to guests about the wines.

There are two options for the event. You can have a regional food and wine match for $90 or a premium estate food and wine match for $120. While the menu is the same, the wines differ between the two packages.

December 4, from 12pm to 2pm. Bookings at musecanberra.com.au.

Young chef Noah Cairnduff is gearing up to create culinary magic when he competes in the grand finals of the Nestlé Golden Chef's Hat Award on Wednesday.

Earlier this year, he was named overall winner of the ACT state cook-off after impressing judges with his culinary skills to land himself a silver medal and a spot in the top 12.

The second-year apprentice chef, who works at Table by Canberra Gourmet, is planning to give it his all in Australia's longest running culinary competition for young chefs.

"This is my first-time competing at a national level in a major culinary competition. I think it's important to learn as much as you can whilst you're still young, so this is a great opportunity for me," Cairnduff says.

He will battle it out virtually, against his rivals in the Trans-Tasman finals event.
