This restaurant serves 16 courses – one of them is licking a log (opens the original)
Read excerpt
″Lick the branch from left to right, suck the gumnut, and peel the leather.” It pays to read the instructions that come with the food at Restaurant Aptos, the wildest restaurant opening in Australia this year. I didn’t. Instead of licking the log, dot-painted with puréed quandong, wild plum, sunrise and desert lime, fermented chilli and kangaroo caramel, I sort of smooshed my lips along the smooth wood like a vacuum cleaner.
The best job in the world? What it’s like to be a Michelin inspector (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Solo diners have done very well in Adelaide since it was announced that there will be a Michelin Guide to South Australia. Anyone who turns up for a booking for one has been quietly scrutinised by staff. Is it an inspector paying a visit, or just a local punter out for a meal? “Do you think he’s one?” I asked the sommelier at Alanna Sapwell’s Esmay in Adelaide recently, pointing to a bespectacled gentleman sitting on his own at the bar ordering a multitude of dishes. “We’re keeping an eye out, j

Read excerpt
For centuries, nostalgia was classified as a serious illness, but try telling that to a Victorian restaurateur. The legacy of Melbourne’s great European restaurants of Tsindos, Society, The Latin and Mietta’s is leaned on today in Gimlet, Grill Americano, Florentino, Maison Bâtard – and now Roma, which opened in the shadows of 120 Collins Street in May. It’s restaurateur Con Christopoulos’ way of bringing back what he calls the glory days of Melbourne dining. “The traditions of service were cele
The star-studded gourmet festival worth travelling for (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Janice Wong, queen of Singapore’s dessert scene, once turned up for a special chef residency at a fancy hotel on a Fijian island. Things did not go according to plan. “I was like, ‘What do you mean, you have no butter?’ ” she says. “I hadn’t realised how remote it was.” She had to unwrap hundreds of tiny, foiled packs of breakfast butter to get enough to start baking her exquisite cakes and pastries.
