An evening in Paddington, Sydney 2020

There are some evenings live in the memory for a life time, particularly when friend’s come together over a beautiful meal. This meal started as an idea for a photo shoot and ended with new friends and a fablios evening.

The evening was hosted by a wonderful couple in a beautifully appointed Paddington terrace. A simple gathering of close friends with beautiful Australian wines and some of the finest produce on offer.

With this menu there was a wonderful under current of classic rural France that ran from the small intimate courtyard to the blue and white crockery and table ware to the table its self. The food simple direct, classic dishes with a real Australian theme, touching on the best Australian produce.
