SpRIng FOOD + WInE
Cooking up aN URBAN storm How did you first learn to cook and where do you now find your food inspiration and learn new things? As our palates develop we often aspire to expand our culinary repertoire, as we employ collaborative efforts in the kitchen with friends and family. Not forgetting to mention whatever influence your favourite cooking celebrity has, or the endless designeresque recipe books or magazines that you may indulge in. Despite all the various resources out there, I believe that there is no better learning than doing! This is why I have craved for so long, to ‘go back to school’, well cooking school that is. The urban cooking school is becoming more commonplace and this ‘adventure’ seems to be within reach. Brisbane is fast becoming a hub for some fabulous new cooking schools in and around the city. Some are standalone and others are in conjunction with restaurants. Dining Out sat down with one from either camp, The Golden Pig Food & Wine School in Newstead and Spring Food + Wine in Felix St, Brisbane City. 14
STORY BY MELISSA HOEDEL
Katrina and Mark Ryan opened The Golden Pig Food & Wine School in October 2012. What a success! Perhaps it has something to do with their culinary experience, expertise and their love of (in their own words) “the laid back style of the city of Brisvegas”. The School is set in a large inner city, light filled and funky warehouse space. It holds a variety of cooking classes, wine and beer workshops and food and wine events including corporate team building events. The kitchen and warehouse space can accommodate up to 150 people. So, to head inner-city now, to where restaurant meets cooking school. However in this case it offers so much more, including a wine store and retail. Introducing Spring Food + Wine, a fabulous venue in Fleix Street in the heart of the Financial District in Brisbane. The cooking school is a very special space, light filled, contemporary and clearly demonstrates the school’s passion for the art of food and cooking.
Using state of the art appliances and quality ingredients, they offer a broad range of informative classes, as well as catering for corporate or team building events. Just glance at their website to see the range and depth of different classes that they offer. From Fondue Fun, to Chocolate Masterclass, from Dude Food (love the sound of this one) to Nose to Tail Butchery Workshops. There is such a variety and sure to be something for everyone. I’m excited to sign up, I am sure that you are too! Whether you are looking at developing your technique, wanting to introduce more dishes to the table at home or after a unique way to gather a group (of friends or colleagues) to have fun and learn something new, make sure to check out Spring Food + Wine.

Rewards of patience!!! Our very Own In HOuse Dry AgeD BlAck Angus ... Hung fOr 6 – 8 weeks In temp Of 4 – 8 Degrees pAsture feD Beef frOm gIppslAnD In vIctOrIA nO mOre tHAn 30 mOntHs Of Age. Pasture Fed as it ages develops a wonderful flavour profile as the bone imparts a marrow richness to the meat as it is hung over time. To match its rich flavour which could be described as smoky or woody but on the palate is soft and supple due to the sinew breakdown which occurs during its ageing span. Dry Age beef does not benefit from cooking past medium as it loses moisture as it is hung and loves to be seared, sealed and slow cooked to a perfect medium rare. For the beef aficionado is well worth the stretch as it has a flavour like no other. It is a pride of our group to have our very own dry ageing cabinet on display in Brisbane and we trust the process to no one else so we can place on the plate a trusted product for all to enjoy!
Moo Moo prides itself at being at the forefront of the steak restaurants in Australia and has secured a new breed to its stable Speckled Park the beef is a smaller Black Angus primarily from Canada now bred in Australia. The selected cuts will be the flat iron and tenderloin. These pieces of beef will remain exclusive to Moo Moo the Wine Bar + Grill in Australia, all the more reason for the beef lover to venture to either of Moo Moo’s feeding lots in Brisbane or Gold Coast. With award winning wine lists, exemplary service and exclusive export beef spoil yourself often at Moo Moo The Wine Bar + Grill.

pop up and pop in
By now you may have heard of or even experienced a pop up Restaurant. For those not in the know, a pop up restaurant is a when a temporary restaurant is set up in a temporary space. It can be for a few hours or even for a few months...usually taking advantage of unique and different spaces or venues. STORY BY MELISSA HOEDEL
PICS BY RENEE
Popular in Europe for years, Australians now can’t get enough of the concept. What was once cool and underground is now embracing a newfound mainstream culture. It is also quickly becoming part of many new Restaurant’s launch strategy or simply a strategy to further promote already exiting (and often well-known) restaurants and restaurateurs, providing a platform to promote their product in a different setting to a potentially different audience. Not to be left behind in the fashionable dining stakes, Brisbane has been host to a variety of different pop-up Restaurants over the past few years. To highlight two fantastic events held in Brisbane, Dining Out had a closer look at Dîner en Blanc and Alfred & Constance’s – Pork, Cork & Fork. Dîner en Blanc was started in 1988 by Frenchman Francois Pasquier, when he wanted to organise a catch-up picnic under the stars with friends. With too many takers to dine in his own garden, he suggested that they convene at the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. Brisbane was the first city in Australia to host the event, and 1000 people clad in white, toting their own tables, chairs, cutlery and picnic basket, convened on the Cultural Forecourt of South Bank in September 2012.
ALfRED & CONSTANCE
The planning for the 2013 Brisbane Dîner en Blanc is already well underway with over 6,000 people on the waiting list. If you are keen to participate, register your interest at: www.brisbane.dinerenblanc.info Wood-cooked food, home-made sweets, beer, cider, jam jar tiki cocktails and music; sounds like the perfect street party! Well it was ‘Pork, Cork & Fork’, as part of the Teneriffe Festival in July last year. It proved to be such a success that they followed up with ‘Pork, Cork & Fork 2’ in October last year. Both of these fabulous, delicious and colourful events were the precursor to the opening of the Alfred & Constance venue in Fortitude Valley. What a success! The timber character homes that comprise the venue, coupled with the ‘clean food’ ethos laid down by Patron Chef Jocelyn Hancock and Head Chef David Lindsey, echo beautifully their introduction via the pop-up restaurant. Clearly established now on the casual lunch and dinner dining circuit for Brisbane, we also have to make mention to the Vanguard Beer Garden and the fabulous White Lightning Tiki Bar, definitely worth checking out.

Jellyfish
Cha Cha Char
The Plough Inn
At Jellyfish we aim to source and serve daily a school of 8 to 14 species of fish, to learn about and understand the textures and specific qualities of each species so we can then recommend the best way to cook and serve it. Our chefs create sauces, batters and crumbs as well as an extensive range of side dishes that perfectly compliment the meal.
Cha Cha Char Wine Bar & Grill is a stylish, contemporary restaurant specialising in high quality, cooked-toperfection steaks.
The Plough Inn has stood at the Brisbane river banks since 1885, if the walls could talk there would many a story told of great nights, sunny afternoons and always a cold beer available.
Absolute riverfront, this is arguably the best located restaurant in Brisbane enjoying striking views of the river and the Story Bridge. The décor is fresh and bright with the lines between indoors and out delightfully blurred. We offer a superior wine list of boutique, eclectic and lesser known vineyards as well as firm favourites from the new and old world. Service in the restaurant, the 35-seat Private Dining Room and in our newly expanded bar is always gracious, friendly and relaxed.

On our menu you’ll find plenty of information - the breed, paddock address, age, size, accompaniments and diet as well as snapshots of our steaks to help diners with their preferences. Restaurateur John Kilroy is a nationally recognised beef judge and is constantly showcasing products to the hospitality industry where discussions range from the breed of cattle, feed type and age of the carcass. His wide recognition throughout the beef industry means that we receive first class products on a consistent basis, year round. John sources the beef direct from producers and suppliers and ages it for five weeks, giving diners a chance to taste different breeds, brands and regions. That’s why it’s Brisbane’s signature steak restaurant!
From the beginning the pub has been a local to the newly settled South Brisbane tenants, wharf workers when Brisbane had a city wharf. A popular Aussie pub during the ’88 Expo to the Iconic watering hole for locals and tourists alike today. Situated in the picturesque South Bank Parklands, over looking the Brisbane river and city skyline , the Plough is perfect for any occasion. Featuring live music the beer garden provides sun kissed afternoons with a cold drink and a vast array of meals to choose from the Steakhouse menu. A great Seafood Plate to share, the highest quality steak selection to a main meal equal to any fine Restaurant.

precincts in focus
You will often hear Brisbane described as ‘a big country town’, and yes, it still has the warm fuzzy of going to your local {insert bar/dining/shopping precinct here}, and knowing the locals by the first name, but it has a bustling busy city heart beating away. It offers a cultural diversity and relaxed approach that appeals to a wide cross-section of people. Al-fresco dining is how we love roll, but we are not defined by this dining experience. Our restaurants are as diverse as the people that live here. So look inside and enjoy some of Brisbane’s best!

THE CITY
BULIMBA / HAWTHORNE
Brisbane City has a broad cross-section of eating precincts, styles and flavours. With numerous parks and outdoor areas, its Al-fresco lifestyle is a direct influence on many of these restaurants, however you will find that there are precincts within the City precinct. Eagle Street Pier and Riverside are a given, laneways are popping up with the funkiest of venues, not to mention some hidden gems throughout the city limits. Eat, drink and enjoy the diversity!
Experiencing a resurgence over the past few years, Bulimba and Hawthorne offer a village charm mixed with contemporary elegance, it is a foodies haven, coupled with a real laidback lifestyle. Stretching along Oxford Street there are a variety of different bars, cafes, restaurants and boutiques, but don’t forget Riding and Hawthorne Roads, with some new additions, this entire precinct is the place to be, any day of the week!
ASCOT / HAMILTON
CAXTON ST / THE BARRACKS
Lined with Poinciana trees, Ascot and Hamilton offers an old-world elegance, in true Queenslander style. Racecourse Road is the hub of this precinct, with both Eagle Farm and Doombden Racecourses on its boundary. Racecourse Road offers fantastic dining, and with only a few minutes walk you will find Bretts Wharf and Portside Wharf, with a diverse selection of dining choices, as well as cafes and boutiques.
Only a stones throw from Suncorp Stadium, these closeknit precincts offer a diversity in nightlife, bars, cafe, dining and lifestyle offerings. Caxton St has been synonymous for years with great food and great nightlife! In one of Brisbane’s oldest historically settled areas, Caxton Street is a vibrant foodie and lifestyle haven.
STYLES, FLAVOURS AND CULTURES... FORTITUDE VALLEY
NEW FARM/TENERIFFE
Commonly know as ‘The Valley’, it is a hub for culture, music and shopping. The Valley stretches in several different directions, including The Mall, China Town, Brunswick Street, Ann Street Emporium and James Street. They all offer their own ‘flavour’ of The Valley. Take your time and explore what it has to offer.
This peninsular offers a fantastic diversity of bars, cafes, restaurants and of course the beautiful New Farm Park and Powerhouse dining and entertainment precinct. New Farm stretches much of the length of Brunswick Street down to the park on the water, Teneriffe extends along the waterfront.
KANGAROO PT WOOLOONGABBA
PADDINGTON / ROSALIE
Kangaroo Point, stands on the peninsular opposing the city of Brisbane. The Story Bridge pierces it’s way through this suburb and defines one of Brisbane’s legendary pubs, The Story Bridge Hotel. Just a few k’s down the road is home of the Gabba (Brisbane’s official Cricket and AFL ground), it’s namesake Wooloongabba offers a mix of pubs, great dining and cafes, mixed with a smattering of eclectic boutiques and stores.
KELVIN GROVE / SPRING HILL Surrounding QUT (Queensland University of Technology), Kelvin Grove is a hub of creative and cultural activity. Victoria Park & Golf Complex is just near-by offering golf, restaurant and function facilities. Spring Hill completes this triangle of dining, entertainment and cultural offerings. With a variety of pubs and hotel dining, Spring Hill also offers some of Brisbane’s first history with it being one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods.
MILTON / PARK ROAD Milton is home to some of Queensland’s most iconic, with Suncorp Stadium and the Fourex Brewery (XXXX) within it’s boundaries. The Park Road strip offers an European flavour, with venues such as La Dolce Vita, a Brisbane institution. Whilst Coronation Drive (aka Coro Drive) divvies up some quintessentially Queensland architecture, with The Regatta Hotel a prime example.
Paddo, as the locals know it, is edgy without being ostentatious, offering a mix of trendy boutiques, bars and dining. Rosalie ‘Village’ is an attractive hidden pocket of Brisbane, and the locals would love to keep this secret, however... the word is out! This is a quality not quantity precinct that is sure to delight!
SOUTBANK / WEST END Southbank speaks for itself with a wide variety of boutiques, dining and bars, mixed with family-friendly outdoor spaces. With Boundary Street as it’s spine, West End offers a diverse ethnic mix, and this throws up some delectable gems when it comes to cuisine. But don’t forget the varied vintage shops and eclectic mix of characters.
TOOWONG / ST LUCIA These two suburbs are a little further from the inner-city heart of Brisbane, but still worth the look in for dining, as there are gems popping up in these suburbs all the time. Perhaps driven by it’s proximity to UQ (University of Queensland), there is a real diversity and quality of cuisine.
