The Kitchen Table

Overview

Good food doesn't have to be fancy. Sure, it can be fun dining out on ingredients that you can't spell. But, sometimes, all you want to do is sit down in front of a familiar dish, cooked with love. At March Into Merivale's The Kitchen Table, chef Danielle Alvarez and author/cook Nadine Levy Redzepi, will be bringing dinner back to basics — and to what the season says is right.

There's every chance you're familiar with one half or the other of this dynamic duo. Alvarez, who's sharpening her knives in preparation for taking on head chef position at Fred's, Merivale's new Paddington destination, has cut her teeth at San Francisco’s Chez Panisse and Napa Valley’s three-Michelin-starred French Laundry. Meanwhile, Levy Redzepi is a celebrated home cook and writer (who happens to be married to Noma's René Redzepi). 

These two have chosen the lovely, open venue of Uccello for their feast, where they'll be serving fresh, Australian produce, turned into simple, generous dishes.
