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.

A Degustation on the 65th Floor, Sydney CBD June 2021

The brief as it was, was to show case the wonderful food that we have in Australia. Originally conceived as a “French degustation” the menu evolved into a celebration of intrinsically Australian food. The menu incorporated native Australian produce, such as linger limes, salt bush from my garden and local samphire and Warrigal greens. It also championed the best product from Australian producers such as fresh Tasmanian wasabi, Tooth fish, local east coast lobster and beautiful wagyu from NSW.
