Bondi Beach Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

chefsaustralia — Fri, 30 May 2008 23:25:09 +0000

	Bondi Beach Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show Literally minutes from Sydney's Central business district, chef Benjamin Christie explores the famous Bondi Beach and visits the Swiss Grand to try their native Australian menu. In 1851, Edward Smith Hall and Francis O'Brien purchased 200 acres of the Bondi area that embraced almost the whole frontage of Bondi Beach, and it was named the "The Bondi Estate." Between 1855 and 1877 O'Brien purchased his father-in-law's share of the land, renamed the land the "O'Brien Estate," and made the beach and the surrounding land available to the public as a picnic ground and amusement resort. As the beach became increasingly popular, O'Brien threatened to stop public beach access. However, the Municipal Council believed that the Government needed to intervene to make the beach a public reserve. It was not until June 9, 1882, that the Government acted and Bondi Beach finally became a public beach. These days Bondi Beach is a mecca of dining options reaching from one end of campbell parade to the other. During this episode Benjamin visits Epic Brasserie at the 4.5 star luxury all-suite Swiss Grand Resort and Spa Bondi. The Epic Brasserie showcases modern Australian cuisine with a focus on the finest Seafood available and here dishes like Baby Barramundi wrapped in paperbark and Kangaroo fillet with mango chutney are prepared.

	Redgum Restaruant Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show This episode, Vic Cherikoff visits Redgum Restaurant inside the historic Boronia House in the northern Sydney suburb of Mosman. Originally located at the corso in Manly, Uli and Sean's Redgum Restaurant relocated to Boronia House in 2001 when the Manly Pier was being renovated. Built in 1885, Boronia House is listed as one of the finest on the heritage register and has a timeless quality. The wooden floorboards, open fireplaces and high ornate ceilings create a feeling of grandeur. Fully refurbished in 1997 the house offers a style that affords a sense of space, light and harmony. The French doors open onto the surrounding veranda' which overlooks the grounds and gardens. On a sunny Sunday afternoon you could believe that you are on a country estate surrounded by areas of open space instead of being 30 metres from the busy Military road. Inside, the restaurant is decorated in the warm colours of the Australian outback with large pieces of Aboriginal art adorning the walls and displays of native Australian flowers and greenery completing the fusion of Victorian and contemporary style. Redgum's menu is a combination of European/Asian cooking with the influence of Australian herbs and spices with dishes such as Calamari with passionfruit and Mountain Pepper BBQ Sauce, Salt bush lamb with kumara smash and for dessert a gumleaf brulee. Redgum Restaurant has since closed, and Boronia house operates as a wedding and function centre. However, Chef Ulli has migrated to Queensland <b>...</b>	From: chefsaustralia Views: 2942 4 ratings

Hydro Magestic Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

	Hydro Magestic Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show In this episode of Dining Downunder, Vic Cherikoff heads off to the west of Sydney and visits the historical and heritage listed Hydro Majestic Hotel in the Blue Mountains. This grand hotel is situated on an escarpment at Medlow Bath and offers magnificent, sweeping views of the Megalong Valley and Kanimbla Ranges. Completed in 1891, The Hydro Majestic Hotel was originally operated as a thermal therapeutic centre with mountain baths of mineralised water for restorative health and relaxation. In 1902, Australian retailer, Mark Foy purchased the site and at that stage the town was known as 'Medlow'. He successfully petitioned the New South Wales government to change the name to Medlow Bath, the current name. It is not known if he requested the name changed to make the name sound more prestigious, or if he wanted to avoid confusion with another town called Medlow, also in New South Wales. Although never officially used for gambling, the casino building is an ornate, late Victorian, Italianate, wedding-cake structure which serves as the grand ballroom today. The highly decorative ceiling panels of beaten metal were shipped from Chicago after the World Expo in the early 1900s and assembled in 1903. After many decades of decline and neglect the Hydro Majestic underwent a series of major refurbishments during the 1990s and it is now under Accor management and has been transformed into a unique, modern mountain retreat.

Noosa Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

	Noosa Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show In this episode, Vic Cherikoff travels to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and visits the town of Yandina which is the home of the famous Buderim Ginger Factory. After learning about ginger production, Vic heads off to Bistro C, right on Noosa Beach. The first ginger was planted in Buderim after a parcel of ginger plants was given to Mr. AJBurnett just after World War One. He planted them in his mandarin orchard at Greenmount. The plants flourished and became the root stock for an entire industry. Before moving to Yandina in 1978, the neighbouring 'Merrybud' Ginger Factory was the only highly-mechanised ginger factory in the world and the only plant in the southern hemisphere where ginger was processed in all forms. Nowadays, The Buderim Ginger Factory, at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland is a tourist attraction and working ginger factory. There are rides, tours of the factory and shops, restaurants and other exhibits for visitors to enjoy. You can even get a range of delicious Australian flavoured ice creams at their kiosk, a range on which Vic Cherikoff worked on their devlopment. Buderim ginger is unique, noted for its quality and mild taste, a golden colour, low sulphur and fibre. Vic took some of the rhizomes he harvested to Bistro C, located on Noosa's main beach overlooking the crystal clear water of Laguna bay. Here Executive Chef, Dayle Merlo cooked a number of dishes using Buderim Ginger including a Thai style whole snapper, king prawn salad with <b>...</b>	From: chefsaustralia Views: 1308 5 ratings

	Blue Mountains Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show In this episode of Dining Downunder, Vic Cherikoff visits Echo Point in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney and drops in to the neighbouring Blue Gum and Leura Post Office restaurants. Echo Point attracts visitors from around the world and offers postcard views of the Three Sisters and out across the Jamison Valley. Scientists provide the unimaginative explanation that the Three Sisters at Echo Point were carved from the surrounding sandstone cliffs over thousands of years by erosion which can still be seen in action today during a heavy rainstorm as water gushes down between the cracks between the pinnacles. However the Aboriginal dreamtime story has it that three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo' lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. The three sisters fell in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe but their tribal laws forbade their marriage. The three brothers did not accept this law and tried to capture the three sisters by force. This caused a major tribal battle and the lives of the three sisters were thus threatened. In order to protect them, a kaditcha man (the tribal magician) turned the sisters into towering stone pillars intending to reverse the spell after the battle. Unfortunately, he was killed in mêlée and the three sisters remain as the enormous and beautiful rock formations until today standing tall at 922m, 918m, and 906m respectively.

Avoca Beach Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

chefsaustralia — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:50:10 +0000

	Avoca Beach Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show Vic Cherikoff heads north to the beachside suburb of Avoca where French Chef, André Chouvin runs Feast Restaurant. Every seat in the house commands stunning beach views, but more importantly it boasts some of the best food for many miles around. Once occupied by the Awabakal Aborigines, the first European land grant in the vicinity was that of Irish army officer John Moore. He received a 640-acre grant of Aboriginal land in 1830 which he called Avoca and he built a house on a ridge overlooking Avoca Lake, just to the west of the beach. He planted cereals, fruit and grapes. In 1836 he was charged with cattle theft but was acquitted. He journeyed to the goldfields in the 1850s but while he was away, his house burned down. Today, Avoca beach has become a popular holiday retreat for Sydneysiders because of its close proximity to 'the big smoke'. Chef Andre's food at Feast Restaurant is influenced by 3 star chef, Paul Bocuse as well as Michel Lorrain, Marc and Paul Haeberlin and uses the finest Australian produce, even though the menu is classic French. Feast's kitchen brigade is regarded as one of the most skilled on the central coast and boasts a team of 7 chefs each shift. Andre's food is extremely flavoursome as much as it is visual art. Two dishes which are symbolically served at Feast Restaurant are the Australian lamb loin and ratatouille as well as the golden cappuccino dessert. His lamb loin is served in a deconstruction style which is gaining popularity in Europe and <b>...</b>	From: chefsaustralia Views: 2270 1 ratings

Sydney Harbour Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

	Sydney Harbour Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show In this episode of Dining Downunder, our chefs visit the Sydney Fish Markets, then board a cruiser for a seafood lunch on Sydney Harbour. Our skipper finds a sheltered cove on Sydney Harbour and we cook on the BBQ off the back of the boat. It's a great way to enjoy this amazing part of Sydney on an Australia Day long weekend or anytime. Sydney Harbour, otherwise known as Port Jackson is the natural waterway of our busiest city and is considered one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. On final approach to a landing at Sydney airport the harbour is a sight to behold and you'll often hear the sighs of pleasure from returning Sydneysiders aboard the aeroplane. The harbour's discovery by Europeans is credited to James Cook in 1770, who named the harbour after Sir George Jackson, Judge Advocate of the Fleet at the time. However, the harbour had been home to two Aboriginal tribes, one on each side of the waterway, for at least 26000 years. Captain Arthur Phillip established the first colony of the invading Europeans in Australia at Sydney Cove inside Port Jackson in 1788. That colony grew to become the township and then the city of Sydney. Sydney Harbour these days is also a very productive waterway in terms of a fishery, as a recreational resource and a working river system and the great views often enhance the food in the many restaurants around its foreshores.
