You might see the likes of
fresh shucked Sydney rock oysters or
quail cooked in master stock, not to
mention surf ‘n’ turf dishes like pork
belly and smoked haddock on chef
Nathan Tillot’s menu. Think open plan,
polished concrete and lowlighting....

Weekend afternoon drinking never looked so attractive. Tread the well worn boards and pull up a stool at the long bar for the likes of a Club Cup (mandarin and mint stirred with Canadian Club and Campari) or a Dirty Pash (Cuervo tequila shaken with passionfruit, Tuaca liqueur (a type of Italian citrus flavoured liqueur) and vanilla syrup). Look for the bright yellow sign. Chef Jared Ingersolls food has a focus on fresh modern Australian ingredients with a classic bistro touch. Try the braised...
Upstairs, Fratelli Fresh, 7 Danks St
The great outdoors: This private, sun-dappled courtyard jutting off the side of the main part of one of Sydneys best cafés has to be hired in advance but its well worth it - you get the whole table all day for only $50 a head and the food just keeps coming out. Youd never guess that it was there from the outside, in industrial Waterloo. Its upstairs from boutique fruit and vegetorium Fratelli Fresh - house of tiny pickling onions, single varietal apple juices (our favourites Granny Smith)...

Classes are held twice daily on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, led by chefs from Café Sopra. The emphasis here is on simple recipes, prepared well using fresh produce. The added bonus is that you can precede a class with a killer lunch upstairs, and visit the downstairs providore afterwards for ingredients to make the...

Leslie, how did this project begin?
It began as a class exercise. When I first started teaching the ‘Working with Actors’ class at Sydney Uni?17 years ago, I was looking for a question that would have people forget they were being filmed (at least part of the time). It’s an exercise for observing the differences in attitudes, manner and expressions on people’s faces. I quickly found when I asked the student to tell me about a time they fell in love, they would...
