This month’s food news features flavours of Asia and a sustainable food and wine festival. Plus, it’s finally time for one of Australia’s best known (and loved) culinary events – Margaret River Gourmet Escape.
Flavours Of Asia With Luke Mangan
Virgin Australia’s Resident Chef is hosting a celebration of Asian food at his warehouse-style tapas bar Mojo, which is situated next door to our Sydney flagship store on Danks Street. Luke Mangan and Mojo’s Head chef Wayne Lee will be producing a mash up of Asian meets Australian cuisine, while some of Sydney’s and Melbourne’s up-and-coming cake makers and gelato connoisseurs will be serving creative Asian-inspired sweet treats. There will also be a DJ mixing the music and Singapore Slings and Asahi Beer to get you in the party spirit.
The Sens-Asian event on the 19th November costs $85 per person for 6 food/dessert plates and a glass of sparkling wine. Bookings can be made by calling +612 9002 5246.

Coffee Box Opens In Darling Harbour
On a mission to deliver good coffee to the office workers and tourists in Darling Harbour is the recently opened Coffee Box Espresso. Run by young entrepreneur and coffee fanatic, Vasili Doukakis, the Coffee Box is very much a family business (just like Winning Appliances!), Vasili’s mum bakes the muffins and banana bread fresh daily, and his siblings are often roped into helping out behind the counter. Situated right at the beginning of Pyrmont Bridge in Darling Harbour, Coffee Box is in a great position for coffee lovers needing a pick me up on their way into the city. Find out more here.
