Crave Sydney International Food Festival run by The Sydney
Morning Herald is here again! This year
their signature event, World Chef Showcase, will be held at the Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre. A
perfect location for such an event with its easy accessibility to all forms of
transport and the professional team from The Centre working behind the scenes.
Festival Director Joanna Savill, an old friend, has again done a great job with her team. The month of foodie fun includes signature events such as Night Noodle Markets, Showcase Dinners and cooking classes as well as Shoot the Chef photography exhibition and competition.

My friends at Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre
are hosting the World Chef Showcase this weekend – Saturday 6
and Sunday 7 October. Dubbed ‘the
ultimate food-lovers’ weekend’, hand-picked domestic and international culinary
talent come will together for a series of presentations, demonstrations and
tastings. Best of all it brings to town
writers like Ruth Reichl , along with local luminaries in Talks and Thoughts, a
new feature in the Showcase.
Internationals include food writer and cookbook queen Tessa
Kiros, restaurant reviewer Nick Lander, and
Christina Tosi from Momofuku Milk Bar. Locally, our Italian chefs star along
with some personal favourites:
Mark Best from Marque presenting in the Thoroughly Modern
Masters section. I’ve eaten in Mark’s three hat restaurant Marque, in Sydney’s
Surry Hills, many times and love everything
from his quiet determination to his impressive and innovative yet grounded food.
Colin Fassnidge from The Four in Hand and 4Fourteen is
joining The Luck of the Irish section. Following
my Irish odyssey also known as television series, Lyndey Milan’s Taste of Ireland (soon to be screened), I share an
affinity with Colin’s Irish roots and food.
I recently enjoyed a leisurely lunch at his newish 4Fourteen in Surry
Hills. From the stuffed pig tail to the
Irish breakfast and mixed grain salad – all sublime. As it says on the Crave website ‘stand by to
go the whole hog’!
On the sweet side, you can’t go past Darren Purchese, one of our most
original, exciting and talented pastry chefs. The sweets, desserts and cakes
that he creates at his bespoke Melbourne studio are works of edible art.
