Yet with fabulous fresh produce, award winning wines and exciting restaurants and a confluence of culinary influences that seem to bring out the best in everything, it’s not all just juicy king prawns and barramundi. This is a rare opportunity to discover Sydney’s fantastic food scene with the woman in the know. Sydney Pemberton, a renowned food writer and chef, loves good food and is passionate about sharing her knowledge. She is an authoritative source, having appeared presenting her recipes on TV as well as producing a wide range of cookbooks. You couldn’t ask for a better guide.

It’s the perfect addition to a holiday in Australia, whether you are passing through Sydney or staying in the city for a while. You can choose to do just one day or all three depending on what you’ve got time for. The tours look at the best produce and ingredients you can source for the hands on class. The Sydney Fish Market will amaze you as there are over up to 150 different species often on offer each day. There’s also a specially created session on barbeques - learn from the inventors of outdoor cooking on how to do it best. It’s an inspirational session with flavours and techniques that will have you crying out for summer sunshine. There’s a trip to one of the local produce markets for more fresh ingredients and discussions with impassioned producers. For those who prefer not to cook, but love their food and drink there’s a day of shopping and eating. You’ll be led to some of Sydney’s best kept food secrets; taste oils, cheeses and breads; lunch at the haunts of the locals. And there’s plenty of time to chat with your host about where to eat and where not to. We can arrange hotel accommodation for you within Sydney’s Central Business District and all transport to and from the tours is taken care of.
