Park Hyatt Harbour Kitchen and Bar


Harbour Kitchen at Sydney's Park Hyatt

Ocean Room


Ocean Room's Head Chef Raita Noda is not content with the perfection of Japanese seafood preparation, his European based training has taught him a thing or two about herbs and spices not used in his homeland, the results are spectacular and unique.
This Sydney Food TV shoot was a visual feast. Great location, really amazing looking food and Raita and his team made us feel more than welcome.

Intermezzo Ristaurante GPO Sydney

Intermezzo
Intermezzo Ristaurante's Mario Percuoco. Mario's passion for fine traditional Italian fare and freshly cooked pasta really comes out in this video. Mario cooks all of his pasta Ala minute, which simply means it is cooked to order, and nothing is precooked.
Marios involtini looked so good and easy to make, I used my new found cooking skills and tried out the dish on my in laws who had arrived from Spain. The response "muy bueno!!!" and that I should cook dinner every night, nice one Mario.
One of the great things about Sydney Food TV is that it is global. Mario took great pleasure in sending the link to all his relatives in Napoli and his chef buddies in Hong Kong.
The owner of GPO Sydney, Peter Petrulus has since commissioned Sydney food TV to produce a 15 minute video showcasing the best of GPO for the corporate event market.

Banjo Paterson Cottage Restaurant Gladesville


Banjo Paterson Cottage Restaurant is steeped in the history of one of Australia's favourite sons. Banjo Paterson through his poems was instrumental in shaping this nation in the decades leading to federation, this terrific restaurant now occupies the cottage that was owned by his grandmother.

"Roses ruddy and roses white, What are the joys that my heart discloses?"

"Sitting alone in the fading light Memories come to me here to-night With the wonderful scent of the big red roses."

Head chef Marco Bonanni cooked his Seared Kangaroo Loin on roasted Root Vegetables in aged Balsamic Vinegar and Chorizio Sausage. The shoot went very well and all the staff made sure we were looked after. During filming the interiors of the restaurant, i couldn't help but wonder if old A. B. himself was looking down on us!
Since the clip has been up loaded to Sydney Food TV Marco has said it has been a great marketing success for the restaurant and they have doubled their produce order for the kangaroo dish!
