Dining Galleries — Of the Moment

The dream is to capture a moment. To walk farm rows and select luscious produce. To get word of an ocean catch that just has to be shared. To distil everything – time, place, season – into a menu impossible if planned in advance. It’s an approach calling for chefs who revel in spontaneity, and we have three: Rodney Dunn, Emma McCaskill and Clare Falzon.

This is off-the-cuff cooking in the best possible way. There will be visits to market gardens, scribbled lists and intel from trusted suppliers, all culminating in an open kitchen where guests watch the final stages of preparation and plating. Paired wines from celebrated Barossa label Seppeltsfield will accompany each course.

One-off menus are a certainty inside the Tasting Australia Dining Galleries. Here they go a step further – dishes selected the day before service and offered with the joy common to all culinary triumphs.
