Food and Words Festival 2015

Overview

If there's one thing better than eating, it's eating while talking/reading/writing/hearing about eating. That's why the Sydney Food and Words Festival is an act of sensory genius. For one delicious day at The Mint, chefs, critics, poets, bloggers, gastronomers and gourmands get together for six hours of gustatory and literary indulgence.

Now in its fourth incarnation, the event is happening on Saturday, September 19. For your one-day ticket, you'll score lunch created by Michael Rantissi, Kepos Street Kitchen and Kepos & Co in collaboration with Bistro Mint; fine wine; Ovvio Organic tea; Little Marionette coffee; morning and afternoon tea; a surprise-packed gift bag; and numerous sessions tackling fun and imaginative foodie topics.

Included on this year's program are a Q&A featuring Sepia's Martin Benn and Vicki Wild, along with the Australian food correspondent Anthony Huckstep; a session with colonial gastronomer Jacqui Newling, a chat with native ingredients expert and chef Jean-Paul Bruneteau, and a discussion about thistles and North Korea with poet and performer Noëlle Janaczewska.
