- Gastronome
- Mittagong, NSW, Australia
- An almost lifelong interest in food, wine and all things gastronomical which was sparked by a visit to one of my father’s friends who had a genuine first edition of Larousse Gastronomique (in French). I enjoyed poring through this tome, even though my knowledge of the language was scant. Subsequent visits had me hooked. Coupled with frequent forays into the pungent, flavoursome atmosphere of suburban delis and the rapidly disappearing world of ethnic grocers with their giant vats of olives and pickles, sacks of pulses it was not long before I started using some of those ingredients to do some cooking of my own. Over time, I developed a love for and knowledge of the many varieties of cheeses on offer at the various delis and of course, the eternally famous institution, David Jones’ Food Hall. Yes, there were cheeses of many varieties available, even in the sixties. My thirst for knowledge of gastronomy and culinary skills, also led to the development of another consuming passion, the sourcing and collecting of books on the subject of food, wine and gastronomy, including a specialisation in books on cheese.

Want a good 'burger? You will find it at Wishbone, in the Intersection complex in between Harris Farm, where they do good fruit & veg and Caffe Rosso, where they serve a great doppio (double shot espresso). Pictured below is the "Classic" with cheese.
Good fresh fish 'n' chips, too, along with fresh seafood to take home and do it just the way you like it.
just watch out for the selfish parkers who don't observe the directional arrows that show you where to drive. Funny people who blow their horns at those who choose to drive in the right direction.
