Truffled Three-Cheeseburger
When most people think of truffles, they think of a special occasion, highly seasonal, highly expensive pure indulgence food. Fair enough. When chefs think of Truffles, they think of intense flavours, evocative dishes, and small profit margins! In our world, truffles...
Confit Duck Marylands
Confit duck marylands are a sure-fire winner on a Christmas lunch table, but they can feel intimidating and time-consuming to prepare. While they do take some time, mostly that time is passive (salting, cooking) which allows you to prepare other dishes alongside it,...
Spring Brunch Salad w/ grains, salmon, fennel, and asparagus
A fun game we like to play around the Ops office is randomly selecting 3 stallholders and competing for the best dish. It has come up with some amazing ideas over time, and recently this little creation took the weekly prize. Spring screams salads and brunch screams...
Charred Sugarloaf Cabbage and Pink-eye Salad w/ Seeded Mustard Dressing
This is, legit, a standalone meal if need be. Although I prefer to have it accompany smoked or braised meats, hearty sausages, or even some char-grilled venison if you’re lucky enough. Leaving the potatoes simply boiled offsets the hard char on the cabbage and the...
Asparagus and mascarpone galette w/ hazelnuts, lemon, and Aleppo pepper.
The asparagus season in Tasmania can be short, unpredictable, and limited. But what a joy it is anyhow! Asparagus is the harbinger of springtime and its beautiful earthy crunch is a fleeting treat for a few weeks each year. I use them every which way I can in season....

Perfect alongside subcontinental or Mediterranean dishes, this little number is a textural delight and can be taken in several directions. In this recipe, we’ll shave the carrots and rough chop the coriander to produce a refreshing crunchy affair. But, if you grate...

Featured Producers/Products - Laos Fresh Farm - Thirlstane Gardens What does one do with 90cms and 3kg of daikon? There are only so many salads and pickles one can eat! This Asian staple veg can be daunting, and if ill-prepared can taste dirty and vaguely sulphurous....

Sherry Berry Sauce
Featuring Ranui berries from Sheffield Berry Gardens Similar to boysenberries or blackberries, Ranui berries are rich and sweet, with a mild tannin that lends itself to savoury condiments. Quick, easy, fruity, and aromatic, this sauce is the perfect...
Shallot Dressing
This dressing is so versatile it's comical. I’ve used it to dress salads, grains, meats, fish, eggs, even savoury danishes! The shallots deliver an umami punch in a way that’s unexpected, into dishes where it might be lacking. Using good local olive oil delivers a...
