Alfie's Kitchen continues to spread its love of sustainable and ethical produce across Sydney. You've seen it put on vegan feasts and take over the kitchens at The Midnight Special and St Peters' Urban Winery, alongside hosting a series of secret warehouse dinners last year. Now, it's bringing back the Ooooby Eats series, this time with a community dinner at Rolling Penny on Wednesday, February 28.
The Newtown cafe will open after-hours for Alfie's head chef Joey Astorga to take over the kitchen. He'll whip up a three-course meal, all while putting on a cooking demonstration for guests. The plant-based menu focuses on showcasing fresh, organic produce from NSW farms, and this time around it's sourced from Moonacres Farm in the Southern Highlands.
Farmer Phil Lavers will be in attendance, giving diners the chance to chat with the man who grew all of the produce on their plate. For drinks, Alfie's is again teaming up with mobile bartenders Trolley'd who will be pouring cocktails made with native ingredients. Live music will cap the night with a soulful live performance by local artist Inês.
The series is in partnership with Ooooby Sydney, a local and organic food delivery service. During his cooking demo, Astorga will pass on creative techniques to cook with whatever fresh produce you have on-hand.
Tickets are $90 a pop and include the three-course meal, along with two welcome cocktails. After that, the night is BYO drinks, so be sure to nab a bottle of wine — perhaps a nice natty from P&V on Enmore Road — on your way in.
