June 13, 2019

Where are you currently based and what is the food scene like there? We are based in Busselton, WA, in the Margaret River region. We have great restaurants, fantastic wine and incredible produce. We have great cafes, bakeries, coffee shops, breweries, distilleries and restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining, we are truly blessed to live in such a diverse region. How did you first start cooking? I got into cooking through surfing. I took a job in a kitchen so I could work at night and surf during the day. What is it about cooking that keeps you coming back day after day? I love the fact that you can be so creative with cooking and as Fervor is a roaming restaurant we are always on the road, meeting new people, leaning about new ingredients and discovering new places throughout Australia. You'll be serving up 4 courses with matching wines on June 7 at the Good Food Restaurant in South Melbourne. What has inspired each dish that you'll be serving on the night? We decided to do an East coast meets West coast style menu and we have incorporated a bunch of uniquely Western Australian ingredients like, youlk, kulyu and bloodroot. How and why did you both decide to work together on this very special event? I had a call asking if I would like to cook with Matt and I immediately said yes. Matt and Jo are cooking some of the most interesting food in Australia and cooking from the heart. Cooking with Matt is always fun times. How would you describe your friendship and working relationship? I have known Matt for years now, but only worked with him at special events. I think we get on well and have similar food philosophies, which makes working together easy and seamless. What music are you listening to at the moment? Have been listening to Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse of late, a very talented duo, with Gina singing a lot of her songs in Langauge, very moving stories and songs. What do you like to do away from cooking? I love to spend time outdoors and explore. Camping with friends is something we look forward to each year, this allows us to disconnect from work and focus on surfing, fishing, exploring and cooking around the campfire. Favourite cooks/chefs at the moment? Alex Atala has been a big inspiration for a while now and as mentioned, loving what Matt and Jo are doing out at Oakridge. Favourite food and place to hang out? We don’t get out much but two places we’ve more recently visited have been at Liberté in Albany. Amy and the team are cooking some incredible food and creating some delicious cocktails. We’ve also had the chance to dine at Arimia close to Yallingup in the Margaret River region – the food is delicious, very innovative and they use a lot of produce from their own garden, served with wine that’s equally exceptional.

The New Vanguard’s Paul Iskov Interview – Dinner 7th of June at the Good Food Month Restaurant

Melbourne Good Food Month expands program with two new feature events, Let’s Do Lunch and Friends of Good Food Month

Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky returns to Hobart’s Dark Mofo Festival this June with two immersive bar experiences - The Talisker Wilderness Bar on the Dark Path and The Talisker Winter Feast Bar. Celebrating Tasmania’s windswept connection to the whisky’s Scottish home, Talisker has also unveiled its top Tasmanian adventures for wild spirits, a collection of local experiences to inspire adventure-seekers to connect to the wilderness and share stories and a Talisker whisky around the campfire. Southern Tasmania’s brooding winters are reminiscent of the Isle of Skye in Scotland, where the Talisker distillery has produced award-winning whiskies since 1830. The Talisker Wilderness Bar at Dark Mofo brings this connection to life, offering a warming seaside experience. Inspired by a boat shed and made from rustic timbers bathed in navy blue, the whisky bar will glow from the flames of open log fires and provide the perfect spot to cosy up with a Talisker whisky in hand during Hobart’s wintry nights. This year at Dark Mofo festival-goers can enjoy Talisker’s twist on winter drinks, created especially for the Festival including the Talisker Campfire Hot Chocolate and the Talisker Spiced Hot Toddy - made with Talisker 10 Year Old, honey, lemon, spices, and topped with gum leaves for a uniquely Australian twist, paired perfectly with a tasty Tasmanian blue cheese jaffle. Other drinks will include the festival favourite, Talisker Skye & Ginger and Talisker Boilermakers matched with local Tasmanian craft beer Moo Brew. “Talisker is a whisky made by the sea on the Isle of Skye. It is a single malt with flavor that has a sense of place, with a sweet smoke and pepper and salt from an island battered by wind and waves”, notes Katie Nagar, Talisker Whisky Ambassador. “Australian winters really do provide the perfect backdrop to cosy up with a Talisker in hand; and the serves that we have created for Dark Mofo are perfect to showcase the unique flavors of Talisker while being accessible to those who may be starting their whisky adventure”. “We look forward to offering The Talisker Wilderness Bar as the ideal spot to enjoy a dram of whisky around the open log fires and share tales of adventures to be had at the Festival and around Tassie”. This Winter, Talisker is also encouraging fellow adventure seekers to get outdoors and enjoy the most of Tasmania’s rugged coast, curating a guide of five experiences that allow them to disconnect with the daily grind and reconnect with nature’s elements. Designed to put Australian’s wild spirit into action and drawing parallels with adventures to be had on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Each adventure is the perfect prelude to a cosy night at The Talisker Wilderness Bar at Dark Mofo, or a simple whisky around the campfire. Talisker’s Top Tips for a Wild Tasmanian Adventures Dark Mofo Festival Magnetising all the wildest spirits from Australia and around the world, Dark Mofo is a festival experience rich with aural and visual treats. This winter those interested in experiencing the highlights of Tasmania should visit Dark Mofo’s Dark Path to experience the artistic installations and curiosities. Explorers should stop off at The Talisker Wilderness Bar to cosy up in front of the fire wrapped in a luxurious wool blanket and a try a warm Talisker Hot Spiced Toddy. Those looking to ignite their senses can round-off their Dark Mofo exploration and seek out Talisker cocktails with a visit to the Winter Feast. Satellite Island The private sanctuary, in the heart of the magnificent D'Entrecasteaux Channel, a short boat-ride from Hobart, is a rugged wonderland of hidden coves and pebble beaches, completely unspoilt by civilisation. Once home to a reclusive poet and writer, it now offers a dreamy coastal-luxe waterside cabin that sleeps up to eight guests. Adventure seekers will have to book a stay at the Island in advance before a visit where they can take-on the 1.5 hour walk along Satellite Island’s ancient Rock Shelf, immersing themselves in the island’s rugged landscape. Then, light a fire on the pebble beach, enjoy the sunset with a dram of Talisker 10 year old and watch the local seals play. Bruny Island Adventurers looking to experience all the highlights of Tasmania should head to Bruny Island, which encapsulates the very best that the Apple Isle has to offer, with its sprawling green landscapes, jagged dolerite sea cliffs and untouched bays. Lying just 40km south of Hobart, Bruny Island offers wild spirits the chance spot whales in the aptly named Adventure Bay, explore the National Park’s windswept landscapes and visit the Cape Bruny Lighthouse to take in a truly breathtaking view. Those who have worked up an appetite on their voyage to the island should pass through to try the Talisker oyster ritual at Get Shucked, Bruny Island’s farmers of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas Aurora Australis on Seven Mile Beach The fact that Tasmania just might be the best vantage spot in the world to view the Southern Lights, or Australis Borealis, remains largely unknown. Wanderers seeking such sights should head to the South Arm Peninsula, 40 kilometres south east of Hobart, for Aurora views that are like curtains of light dancing across the sky. The area is surrounded by beaches with still, yet wide shallow bays to capture reflection shots with waves crashing in the foreground. The powerful peat-smoke nose of Talisker with its sea-water saltiness and a citrus sweetness twist is perfectly enjoyed whist watching the skies. Wild beach bonfire feast on Redbill Beach Keen cooks can take inspiration from Sarah Glover, Tasmanian-native, chef and wilderness enthusiast, with a campfire dinner on the incredible Redbill Beach surrounded by fairy penguins and a stunning view of Diamond Island. After cooking one of Sarah’s dishes for a campfire from her Wild Cookbook, those seeking an embrace from the outdoors can savour the sunset with a Talisker whisky looking out to sea, the perfect invitation to disconnect. The Talisker Wilderness Bar is located on the Dark Path and The Talisker Winter Feast Bar is located in the main hall. For more information about the Dark Mofo festival visit www.darkmofo.net.au. The Talisker Wilderness Bar, Dark Path Friday 14–Sunday 16 June, 5–10pm Wednesday 19–Sunday 23 June, 5–10pm The Talisker Winter Feast Bar Friday 14 + Saturday 15 June, 4–11pm Sunday 16 June, 4–10pm Wednesday 19 June, 4–10pm Thursday 20 June, 4–10pm Friday 21 + Saturday 22 June, 4–11pm Sunday 23 June, 4–10pm

Diageo Rare Whiskies

The team behind Melbourne’s music institution The Old Bar is pleased to announce the new incarnation of one Abbotsford’s oldest treasures The Carringbush Hotel. Focusing strongly on sustainability, its meat-free menu is largely vegan, all wine on tap, no packaged beer, eco-friendly reusable metal straws, ethical plates, environmentally friendly lighting and heating. Gone are the days of when the pub’s natural light was shunned, with the formerly frosted arched windows replaced by big, clear portals looking onto the leafy streets of Abbotsford mirrored by the indoor plant design by Red Letter Landscapes. Originally called The Friendly Societies Hotel – a name that still adorns the façade, the pub has served as a meeting spot for all walks of life who have enjoyed a drink and a meal over the counter since 1889. In honour of the iconic Australian novel, ‘Power Without Glory’, published in 1950, the pub adopted its new name, The Carringbush Hotel in 1984. Author Frank Hardy tells a tale of Melbourne’s criminal underground, set in the fictional suburb of Carringbush. Many of the characters were based on real-life figures who frequented the original Friendly Societies Hotel. Fast forward to 2019 with a whole new look and feel, owners Joel Morrison, Liam Matthews and Singa Unlayiti along with General Manager, Jen Drane, have enlisted former music journalist Tim Cashmere as the pub's Wine and Spirits buyer. Tim is the brains behind The Carringbush’s unique wine and spirits list selecting high-quality wine through the pub’s tap systems. With over 21 beers on tap, including premium icons, unusual delights and of course all the locals, Stomping Ground, Fixation, Mountain Goat and Moon Dog. Tim brings a wealth of knowledge from his time spent as the sommelier at Melbourne’s iconic Gertrude Street Enoteca and manager of East Brunswick cellar door of winery Noisy Ritual which he helped build from its humble beginnings. In keeping with the musical theme, Head Chef Roxanne Olsen and bassist for local band Glomesh, cut her teeth at The Grand Hyatt training in premium service before opting for the more laid-back vibe of iconic music venue The Corner Hotel and local famed brewery Stomping Ground. Roxanne brings her diverse experience to The Carringbush, meticulously researching ingredients to ensure her meat-free dishes live up to the pub’s ethos of sustainability without sacrificing flavour. Roxanne’s current menu creations include her Halloumi & Mushroom Burger, Sweet Potato Steak, Chilli Non Carne, Vegetable Charcuterie Plate, Chocolate Stout Black, Maple Teriyaki Tofu, Forest Cake, Mango Coconut Tart plus a separate Kids Menu. “We are working hard to be a pub that enjoys the benefit of delicious food and drink, without costing the earth. Our food and drink range has been carefully selected to meet a high-quality standard, that also works to support small and independent local business whilst minimising our global footprint,” explains owner Liam Matthews. The Carringbush Hotel is far from your average pub, it’s modern, but with an old-school pub vibe, it’s family friendly, a place where you can take your kids, meet your friends, and is also available for private events. THE CARRINGBUSH HOTEL 228 Langridge Street, Abbotsford Sunday – Thursday:11am – 11pm Friday & Saturday: 11am – 12am Lunch Special One free pot of beer with any main meal 21 taps to choose from Monday – Friday11am – 2pm daily Happy Hour $8 Pints 21 beers to choose from 4 – 6pm, 7 days a week Trivia “Fact Hunt Trivia” with Tristan Harris (RRR) Monthly - Tuesday nights commencing Tuesday 19 March

Diageo, the world’s biggest producer of spirits, has announced ten impeccable, meticulously crafted, limited-edition Scotch Whiskies will be released in strictly limited quantities in Australia this April as part of Diageo’s annual Special Releases Collection. The Special Releases Collection is a hand-selected range of some of the rarest and oldest cask-strength bottlings from distinguished, lesser known and even closed distilleries. Highly-sought after and anticipated worldwide, the annual collection is curated by a masterful blending team who ensure each bottle encompasses a fragment of Scotch Whisky history and reflects the stories of the people, places and craftmanship that make Scotch Whisky so special. The 2019 Special Releases Collection is made for knowledgeable whisky fans and Scotch novices alike and celebrates a year of firsts including: a debut of INCHGOWER 27 year old bottling; CAOL ILA 35 year old, the oldest bottling ever produced from the distiller; and THE SINGLETON GLEN ORD 14 year old which is triple matured using an ingenious five cask process. The Collection also sees CLADACH, a unique blend of six renowned coastal distilleries - Caol Ila, Clynelish, Lagavulin, Oban, Inchgower and Talisker; as well as the oldest bottling from CARSEBRIDGE, an exceptionally rare 48 year old grain whisky that has resulted in just 1,000 bottles being released. In addition, the Special Releases Collection features unique releases from popular distilleries including TALISKER 8 year old and OBAN 21 year old whilst a classic LAGAVULIN 12 year old, CAOL ILA UNPEATED 15 year old and PITTYVAICH 28 year old complete the beautifully crafted selection. “The launch of the Diageo Special Releases Collection is an incredibly special time of year for Scotch Whisky and has become one of the most highly anticipated launches on the whisky calendar,” says Simon McGoram, National Whisky Ambassador for Diageo. “Many of the releases within the collection are extremely rare and some are from ‘ghost’ [closed] distilleries, making this one of the few chances for both knowledgeable whisky fans and those wanting to explore the flavours of Scotch to own and discover an exceptional collection. “We’ve seen the demand for rare and unique Single Malt Scotch Whisky bottlings increase exponentially over the past decade which is why we’re so excited about making this range accessible to everyone. The collection is priced to suit a variety of budgets, so there really is a whisky for all to savour, invest in, collect or gift. The Diageo Special Releases Collection is available for purchase in Whisky Specialist venues and stores from April, pending availability. For more information, visit www.malts.co
