Chinese Mushroom

A very important part of Chinese cooking is to perfect an equation which has a complexity of smells, flavours and textures, just like cuisines from all over the world. Traditional Chinese food (not that crap you get at Mr. Chow’s or Kylie Kwong) focuses heavily on the texture. Concepts such as...

Taste on Sussex Lane

Go check out Taste on Sussex Lane at the Westpac plaza (275 Kent St) if you work in the CBD. It’s opened by the same owners as Taste on Foveaux, and it is a combined Restaurant, Bakery, Bar and Sandwich take-away.

Christine Manfield Cooking Class

One of Australia’s most celebrated chefs – most known for her amazing desserts and Asian inspired cooking, held a class at the Sydney Seafood School last week which I was very excited about. After an hour long demonstration on how to prepare each dish, we separated into groups of 5 to try...

Palatable, Per Se…

A veritable cornucopia of taste, for all five senses. Even though Thomas Keller resides more at French Laundry, his creations were undoubtly passed on exquisitely to his fellow chefs. He was awarded a three star rating by the Michelin Guide to New York for his restaurant Per Se, and in 2006, he was...

Healthy Dumplings
