Join us for this series of special dinners where two leading chefs, one cutting-edge international name and one local Sydney icon, are brought together to craft a truly unique and delicious meal.
Specifically selected for their distinct but complimentary cultural backgrounds and techniques, each chef pair will create a never-to-repeated menu that celebrates the best NSW produce and suppliers.
The Vivid Chef Series includes:
The Charles Brasserie & Bar x Sally Abé
Slide into a lush leather booth for this Chef Series pairing that fuses the bold but refined British nostalgia of Sally Abé (The Pem) with Billy Hannigan’s classic French decadence in the grand setting of The Charles Brasserie and Bar. The Charles head pastry chef Rhiann Mead (former head pastry chef at Bennelong) will also join Sally and Billy in the kitchen to craft an innovative, exuberant dessert, the perfect end to a night of culinary creativity.
Aalia x Ivan Brehm
Ivan Brehm’s Modern European "crossroads cooking" meets the depth and breadth of Paul Farag’s Middle Eastern cuisine for two exclusive Chef Series dinners set in the warm, elegant ambiance of AALIA. As the chef-owner of Nour, the beloved Michelin-starred Singapore restaurant, Ivan is a true master of global gastronomy. Combined with Paul’s passion for the lesser-known flavours of the Middle East, this will be a truly special opportunity to sample global fusion at its elegant peak.
Fred’s x Max Coen
Max Coen of Dorian, the Notting Hill hotspot, joins forced with Hussein Sarhan of Paddington institution Fred’s for a unique series of four dinners. Their bold but simple menu heroes both Max’s mastery of wood-fire flavours and single-ingredient focus and Hussein’s hyper seasonal, honest cooking. The result is a celebration of quality NSW ingredients, precise techniques and the joy of gathering for a delicious meal.
Beyond being a celebration of culinary innovation, this is an example of the power and beauty of diversity and communion through food. Join us as we forge new connections and try something completely new together.
