Dining Galleries – Sunday Best

Sundays call for something special. Take a minute. Treat yourself. It’s in that spirit Alex Crawford, Darren Purchese, Julia Busuttil Nishimura and Tom Robinson will gather to prepare a menu offering the best kind of culinary indulgence. Inspired savoury offerings are assured – and so too are delectable sweet treats. This Dining Gallery also happens to coincide with Mother’s Day. You know what to do.

Crawford, better known as The Sugar Man, founded a hugely successful patisserie in Adelaide’s Hutt Street (the one welcoming a long line of eager customers each weekend). Along with all things pastry he’s also a chocolatier, using local produce to give his creations a South Australian touch.

Unforgettable sweet treats are also a specialty for Purchese. He’s been a star of the Australian hospitality scene for decades, driven by a soul-deep love for cooking and its capacity to nurture.

It’s likely you know Busuttil Nishimura from her prolific online presence, including cult recipes that dominate food-lovers’ social feeds. Global influences guide her work, with Around the Table, her latest book, following the success of earlier works including beloved debut Ostro.

Amid the bustle of busy schedules it’s rare to really slow down. Your moment has arrived.
