Sydney Table 2017

This recap of Sydney Table 2017 includes a nailgun accident, edible gold and clay and a 30-metre floating herb installation. And, of course, chefs getting up to creative mischief with artists. The combined wattage of these pairings was what gave this event such star power. It’s the second year that Carriageworks has staged this series […]

Food At Underbelly Arts

So somehow I was trusted to come up with the food line-up for Underbelly Arts festival! Getting to create a wish list of who should be caretakers of your hunger and thirst for next weekend’s Cockatoo Island event has been an awesome privilege. You might’ve seen some coverage about me “curating” the menu, but major […]

Don’t miss … the Italo Dining and Disco Club, Carriageworks

The Italo Dining and Disco Club pop-up opened on Sunday at Carriageworks and I somehow (or should that be “somehow”?) have found myself there three nights in a row. Not that you need an elaborate excuse for rerouting your path in this direction – the restaurants behind this venture have as much star power as […]

Rootstock Sydney

Whatever your battle plans are for next weekend, make sure they involve a visit to Rootstock Sydney, which is on at Carriageworks in Eveleigh. Since its debut last year, this artisanal food and wine fair has upsized and is now taking place over two days, with an impressive program of masterclasses, workshops and markets. Each […]

Bao Town Pop-Up, Vella Nero, Sydney

Lifting the lid off bamboo steamers is a standard Saturday ritual, but the Bao Town Pop-Up at Sydney’s Vella Nero cafe offers an inspired take on this bun-savouring custom. Theresa Nguyen’s venture goes far beyond the default options – her inventive menu includes dessert bao with a stowaway layer of lemon polenta, or one that […]

‘From Scrolls To Zines’ – an exhibition

So this sneaky post has very little to do with food, but I hope you don’t mind me mentioning that I’m in an exhibition that opens next week. There will be copies of my Japan zine on show (and for sale, for anyone with spare pocket change) at Janet Clayton Gallery. The exhibition is called […]

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
