Kitchen & Bathroom Issue

Habitus 63 is arguably the most aspirational issue of the year with Kitchens & Bathrooms to dream about. Whether a family hub, an entertainer’s paradise or somewhere to grad a quick meal, how we live in and spend time in the kitchen is a very personal question that requires thought and an abundance of resources. Always the aspirational eye candy of design, we have some truly lovely kitchens from Greg Natale, YSG, Splinter Society, Sally Caroline and Studio Johnston. Bathrooms are just as important with Greg Natale, Studio Tate, YSG and Those Architects sharing some fabulous insights

Taste of Young Sydney

Australia

There’s a storm a-brewin’ in Sydney’s restaurant scene, with culinary kicks from the city’s creative kids.


“When are you next generation going to stop talking about how you can do things better, and do something about it yourselves?”

This was the question asked by Sydney Morning Herald senior writer Helen Greenwood to young Flinders Inn chef, Morgan McGlone. Morgan’s answer: “Good point”.

Morgan went on to speak to Fooderati’s Melissa Leong and together they “hatched a plan” and Taste of Young Sydney [TOYS] was born – bringing together Sydney’s young creative chefs and restaurateurs to put on ‘pop-up’ dinners.

 

“So many of our friends are doing amazing things,” explains Melissa, “some of them as the head chefs of iconic Sydney establishments where they’re bound by a certain aesthetic that, while amazing, is not completely their own.”

“This presented an opportunity to showcase something unencumbered by the expectations of a certain style and restaurant legacy, but instead take their skills, inspiration and ambition to present a different offering.”

 

[TOYS] has already held two very successful themed dinners; the first, ‘PHAT’ and the second ‘SKIN AND BONES’ creating some amazing and experimental delights.

 

Each of the chefs involved creates a course for the degustation menu, and each also must collaborate with the [TOYS] music crew to create a soundtrack to their course (so cool!).

The next dinner is coming up as part of the Sydney International Food Festival and will see the group take over the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale on 12 October 2010, delivering a menu around the theme ‘BUBBLES’. It’s $95 per person and you can book here.

The ‘BUBBLES’ line-up:

Monty Koludrovic (Becasse), Annemarie Rodrigo (Bistrode), Tomislav Martinovic (Tomislav) & sommelier Richard Hargreave (Bilson’s)… alongside Morgan McGlone (Flinders Inn) & Dan Hong (Lotus), sommelier Banjo Harris-Plane (Est.), cocktails by Luke Ashton (The Corner House), Mitch O. Bushell (NYC).
