Good Food Month in Sydney

I just found out that October is Good Food Month in Sydney...an entire month devoted to the celebration of food!

No food lover will want to leave Sydney during this time. Good food month is packed with features and events such as night noodle markets, cooking classes, young chef's dinner, farmers' markets, and lunch and dinner offers.

They will even have Ferran Adrià, the world's most celebrated chef, give a talk about a day at his Spanish restaurant, El Bulli. This three starred Michelin restaurant has been voted the world's best restaurant 3 years in a row.

Luckily, I will be in Sydney for October, but sadly, it will only be for 2 days. I leave for New Zealand tomorrow, will be there for 10 days, and then back to Sydney for 2 days before I head home. Hopefully, I will be able to take advantage of some of the food offers, but we will see.

Here are some of the classes that I will be missing and would love to do if I were here longer:

Oyster Class

I've always wanted to learn how to shuck oysters. There is a selection of oysters for tasting, and you even get to take home an oyster knife.

Olive Oil Appreciation

Like wine and coffee tasting, olive oil can be just as intricate. I've always wanted to learn the finer details of this oil.

Italian Cooking

Italian is one of my favourite cuisines. I've always enjoyed making fresh pasta. Here, you not only get to make Italian food, but you get to learn about the history behind each dish you make. I find you get so much more when you learn history from someone instead of reading it on the Internet.

It is events like these that I wish I were living in this city **sigh**
