Recipes for Change – City Talks 2012

Overview

There's no doubt Sydney is passionate about its food. With restaurants like Quay, Tetsuya’s and Marque among the best in the world, the city is shaped by its food and the culture it brings. But how does what we put on our plate affect the world outside our kitchens, and vice versa?

Two of the city's driving forces in its bustling food scene, the City of Sydney and the Sydney Morning Herald, have partnered to present a panel on just this issue, titled Recipes for Change: How food is changing the cultural and community life of cities.

Around the world, many cities are searching for sustainable and ethical ways to source food. Lord Mayor Clover Moore, who has steered Sydney towards a small bar revolution, will discuss how local initiatives like community gardens can help cities plan for a food crisis. With a star-studded culinary line-up including Merivale CEO Justin Hemmes, OzHarvest founder Ronni Kahn, and food writer Jill Dupleix also speaking, it's any foodie's dream.

The city's army of food trucks will be waiting outside to make sure guests are well fed and ready to listen about Sydney's food future.

Recipes for Change is listed as full, but uncollected (free) tickets will be rereleased to grab in person from 6.25pm on the night.
