Launch of the BMW 7 series, Mittagong NSW

Embracing the ethos of the BMW 7 Series, the menu featured high-quality dishes, complemented by a series of non-alcoholic beverages and cocktails, ensuring the safety of all attendees who would later embark on their journey back to Sydney in the BMW. We created a non-acholic ginger peach iced tea along with the delicious Polka Lilly pilly sparking cuvee, along with the delicious local wines from Artemis Winery just down the road.

London Dinner Party

I like nothing better than a challenge, as as a private chef you never know where your going to end up, who you might be cooking for or what it is you can be cooking.

Wine Degustation, Queenscliff

The offer of this private dinner came though an a rather simple email asking if I was interested in cooking a birthday dinner for around sixteen people all of whom loved wine.

Truffle hunting in Robertson

It was beautiful early winters day, fingers of sunlight, lush green paddocks and the late tint of autumn leaves. Robertson in the southern highlands just outside of Sydney, is a neat little country town with a rather up market looking restaurant just next to the local Massey tractor dealer.

A few wines from the Cotes-du-rhone

While in London I regularly purchase wine from the Jeroboams store on Heath Street, which is an agreeable distance from my flat. I like, on each trip, to concentrate on an individual wine region. Last year it was the wines of Tuscany. Mainly Sangiovese based wines. Super concentrated wines with tight tannins and big flavours, Chianti’s and Montepulciano and the like.

Bistro Officina. Bowral, Southern Highlands NSW

There are dishes, and then there are dishes. These are the culinary moments that stick with you, in the very front of the food memory bank. The meals that everything else is measured against.
