This weekend, a whole heap of Sydney's best chefs are joining forces — 30 of 'em, to be exact — and it's all in the name of bushfire relief. Cooks for the Bush will take over Nomad's temporary Surry Hills digs on Sunday, January 12 for one serious fundraising brunch and bake sale.
While the brunch sold out in record time, the takeaway bake sale will see tasty treats created by the likes of Aria's Joel Bickford, Butter's Julian Cincotta, Kitchen by Mike's Mike McEnearney, Continental Deli's Michael Nicolian, Fred's Danielle Alvarez, Icebergs' Nic Wong and Alex Prichard and Alex Prichard and, of course, Nomad's own Jacqui Challinor. Head chefs from Rockpool, Biota Dining and Cho Cho San are also involved, as is Duncan Welgemoed from Adelaide's famed Africola. And this is just to name a very few. You can check out the full list below.
All chefs and suppliers are giving their time and produce for free, so 100 percent of proceeds on the day will be donated to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal.
Also coming up is a silent auction, with many of the participating restaurants donating gift vouchers for special dining experiences. The auction page is still in the works, so keep an eye on the Nomad website.
