TOM’S TASTING TIPS

Spring has definitely sprung, with the weather heating up and the onset of long, summer days just around the corner. It’s also that time of year where punters direct their attention to the much awaited form guide for the Spring Racing

Carnival.

Spring Carnival is not just the start of the racing season, but also the start of the festive season. Weekends fill up quickly with early Christmas celebrations and end of year shenanigans, and there is no better way to celebrate than with champagne or sparkling wine.

Much like reading the racing form guide, the label on your favourite wine or champagne will give you a lot of insight into what you beloved beverage has in store for you.

To make sure you get the most out of this Spring Carnival Season, here is a list of common terms and their meanings – it’ll have you embracing your inner Spring Carnival Connoisseur in no time!

Blanc de Blancs: Applies to wines made entirely with white grapes; in the case of true French Champagne this means it is made from 100 percent Chardonnay. Many blancs de blancs are known to age well.

Blanc de Noirs: Means that the white juice is actually made from red skinned grapes such as pinot noir, pinot meunier, or a combination of the two.

Brut: Roughly 95 percent of all French Champagne is classified as brut – or dry – meaning that the dosage added to the bottle contains very little sugar.

Demi-Sec: Wines that contain a noticeable amount of sugar. These sparklings are decidedly sweet and are the perfect accompaniment to dessert.

Extra-Dry: A slightly misleading term as beverages in this category actually

taste slightly sweet, because the dosage used contains a small

amount of sugar.

Rosé: Is made either by blending in a little red wine or by letting the clear grape juice

come into contact with the red grape skins. Rosé champagnes range in colour from a slight

blush to a true rosé.

Sparkling wine and the racing season go hand in hand. Much like a Spring Carnival, there is no shortage of quality entrants, every punter has their favourite and most are picked by the sound of their name. In keeping with the Spring Racing Carnival spirit, here is my list of the best beverages to celebrate with!

Yarra Burn NV $19.99

Made by Ed Carr, this Australian champion always delivers lots of toasty tones and citrus flavours with many persisting bubbles. If you back this one you will never lose

Charles de France blanc de noir $24.99

This is the one that nobody has ever heard of, but is a true winner! It has lots of character and

carries itself like a true champion.

Da Luca Prosecco $22.99

Soft and creamy palate with loads of citrus fruit, layered with peaches. A classic prosecco that is definitely in it to win it.

Taittinger Champagne NV $74.99

From the stables of one of the great champagne houses, this thoroughbred

delivers aromas of peach, subtle floral tones, vanilla and fresh brioche. The palate is layered with fresh fruit and a touch of honey. Always a winner!

Yellowglen Vintage 2012 $18.99

This sparkling always surprises as it is made in the traditional method and spends 12 months on lees. With apples and biscuity tones on the nose and palate, and a long finish, this is definitely the people’s champion.

OCTOBER 2015 3 INDULGE

I must confess I had never been to the races before attending the City Tattersalls Cup Day on Saturday 17th October. Nor had I ever ventured to the prestigious Royal Ascot or Cheltenham Festival whilst living in the UK. As with many ordinary folk attending I knew nothing of the

intricate and technical world of horse-betting, relying instead on widely available “form guides” and a few tips texted to me from a friend-of-a-friend’s uncle. With diligently polished shoes and suitable attire, I made my way down Alison Rd. with flocks of other well-dressed comrades towards the newly refurbished, and stunning, Royal Randwick, for my first taste of thoroughbred racing during the Sydney Spring Racing Carnival.

Also known as the “Sport of Kings”, thoroughbred racing began in England in the early eighteen-hundreds where the notion of breeding elite horses for racing was reserved for the fervent interests of royalty. Over the years the sport has expanded globally with premierships throughout Asia, Americas and the Middle-East. Premiere horseracing events throughout the world have now become spectacular social occasions for those looking to loosen up, have a punt and dress to impress after a busy week at work. Reasonably priced tickets mixed with the charming tradition of high-society fun are perhaps a few reasons why race days continue to thrive. Live DJ performances, themed bars and complementary make-up

booths provide trackside entertainment that caters for even the most downhearted individuals. In Saturday’s case, Famed Mauritian DJ Havana Brown performed live in a trackside performance after the final race, and for those keen to extend their royal winnings (or losings) free transport was available to take merry bus-loads of punters over to The Star for the official after-party.

Each Spring Carnival race day is represented by a different coloured rose handed out to all Australian Turf Club members by delightful and enthusiastic staff upon entry. Yellow rose lapelled, I wearily headed over to the corporate suites area inside Royal Randwick’s newly refurbished Queen Elizabeth Grandstand II. I say “wearily” because, from experience, exclusive corporate suite hospitality never quite captures the atmosphere pulsating around the venue. After my first hour, however, I realised this was not the case at Royal Randwick. Even with a beautiful view of the grounds from our balcony and a dangerously appropriate private betting machine, I could still feel the anticipation and giddy excitement with each trumpet blown announcement of the next race. Our personal host for the day, Karen Vallender, succinctly told me the atmosphere is always down to a mixture of a “beautiful venue, beautifully clad ladies, and gents who love their horses”.

As enjoyable as the corporate suites were, I was still keen to head down to join the jolly riff-raff who were much closer to the day’s action. Dapper looking children, plastic chairs and a carnival atmosphere were just a few differences I noticed when heading onto the well-kept turf for the first time. The dress-code also appeared to be fairly relaxed. At times I saw gentlemen donning bleached jeans and denim shorts, and ladies abandoning their brand new blister-inducing Jimmy Choo’s altogether for the comfort of a picnic blanket. As with my experience upstairs, there was little in the way of overt pomposity and snobbishness too. Compared to some of the more draconian regulations and elitism that has tarnished the likes of Royal Ascot and other racecourses in the past, the day triumphed from an overwhelming sense of shared fun and frivolity, regardless of who you were wearing or what your ticket might read.

After all, dining in the sun and watching elite horses sprinting for 1000m is the reason why most people embrace the charming dress-codes in the first place. Feeling the pounding steps of exceptional animals ride past you is something that connects you to the races on a visceral level, away from the pixelated screen of wall-mounted betting machines too quick to exchange cash for tickets.

And on that fruitful subject of betting it became all too tempting to punt on horses who had the most interesting and tongue-in-cheek names (especially after a few beers). Race 7 at 4:45pm saw me cash in on my biggest win of the day, all on a horse named after a race of nomadic warriors from the Game of Thrones series. Not content with this betting strategy, the serious players stood with poised pens calmly annotating their form guides with numbers, circles and crosses next to their calculated tips.

By the end of the day, many punters left Royal Randwick in high spirits even if they left behind them a sea of scrunched up betting slips, and the odd boater hat, across the lawn. The trackside entertainment and trappings of the race-day might have changed over the last 300 years, but the spectacle of supremely bred horses striding across a flat ground is one that undoubtedly will not.

THE ENTERTAINMENT QUARTER (NEXT TO FOX STUDIOS),

122 LANG ROAD MOORE PARK.

EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY 9AM – 2PM. Come and rediscover the NEW EQ Village markets

www.eqmoorepark.com.au/eq-village-markets

One of Sydney’s undiscovered foodie treasures is the EQ Village Markets next to Fox Studios at Moore Park. As you arrive you’ll be drawn in by a dazzling

display of fresh cut flowers that have people travelling from all over Sydney to buy.

Once you have your spring flowers there’s plenty of delicious food stalls to satisfy your cravings. Chat with the farmers to find out what’s in season and freshest from the abundance of produce on offer around the market. Find the fresh seafood stall fully stocked with today’s catch. There are

tender meats from local farms with all the cuts you’ll ever want and award winning chicken schnitzels.

You don’t have to go overseas to taste the world of food, from French cheese, Eastern European salamis, fresh Italian pasta, Greek sweets and Irish soda bread. There are plenty of local producers with healthy offerings such as gluten free treats, kombucha, teas, local olive oils, nuts and dried fruit, and cheeses.

By now you’ll be hungry so why not stay for

lunch? Choose from the wide range of available hot food including everything from the ever-popular Ethiopian curry, Portuguese chicken burgers and salads, Turkish Gozleme, Spanish Paella, Asian and Middle Eastern foods and the good old Australian bacon and egg roll.

But this is just to start… with more stalls joining the market every week you’ll be amazed at what you’ll discover at EQ Village Markets every Wednesday and Saturday 9am to 2pm. 2 hours free parking right next to the market.

After years of jackarooing around the Australian countryside, Chris May decided that his love of people and thirst for farming were not being satisfied. Chris said he understood from an early age

the bounty of nature and growing up in the Blue Mountains, the bush was his wonderland. After a day in the bush he would go home with a ‘bush bouquet’ for his mother. It was though his mother’s love of plants and in particular fragrant flowers, he witnessed the joy that nature can bring. It also happened to be his mother who introduced him to his true love Rosetta, who just happened to be the daughter of a rose grower.

Chris' journey in the industry began more than 20 years ago when his father-in law Dominic would give him the leftover flowers from his farm to sell, and he started doing just that from the back of a truck on the side of the road.

Now Chris and his wife, Rosetta, have established their very own property in Freemans Ridge.

A typical working day starts at midnight, to get to the local markets such as the EQ Village Markets to sell his produce. He says his focus is on providing a wonderful variety of flowers that are of superior quality and affordable direct from the farm, filling his customers lives with beauty.

Chris lives the Mayfarm Flowers motto… abundant in nature, generous in spirit.

The EQ Village Market is open every Wednesday and Saturday from 9am – 2pm and located next to The Showring, in a fully undercover area. The Village Markets is the place to find your pantry staples enjoy gourmet produce and buy a bunch of beautiful flowers.

It seems hard to believe, but we have just consumed nearly 3,000 dishes. Most were delicious, some were disappointing and a few were absolutely amazing. We tell you all about it in the 2016 Guide!

Thankfully, we didn’t eat every one of these dishes ourselves, and this year we were assisted by four judges from Europe, which provided a perfect opportunity to benchmark our restaurants against some of the best in the world. We believe this type of comparison is necessary if our restaurants are to compete on an international stage – and if Tourism Australia invites the whole world to eat in our restaurants, it is even more critical that we review and evaluate our own performance, both at the level of individual restaurants and as an industry. This type of evaluation, done objectively and on an ongoing basis, is precisely what this Guide is all about.

Our chefs have worked hard during this past year to produce outstanding food to serve to their guests, regularly creating distinctive dishes with a special twist. These dishes often feature produce and cooking methods from both our Asian neighbours and the many other countries represented through

immigration – and while some would argue there is not an Australian cuisine, we would beg to differ. Not only does our cuisine reflect a unique combination of influences, our flavours tend to be livelier and our dishes tend to be lighter but spicier than those of many established cuisines.

Unfortunately, the effort and success in the kitchen was not always matched in the dining room. Australian service has, in our opinion, not kept pace with the exciting developments in our cuisine – or, indeed, with the service standards of restaurants in many other countries.

In part, this is because many of our restaurants don’t have service supervisors or restaurant managers, which means that young service staff are left without professional guidance, and this really shows.

However, recognition is a very effective motivational tool – and Gault&Millau has, since its inception more than 50 years ago, recognised and celebrated the high achievers of our industry. This year, Gault&Millau Australia will highlight some of our shining stars and encourage others to strive for similar achievement – and we are delighted to introduce our award winners and finalists in this year’s Guide. These restaurants

and individuals have all contributed to culinary excellence in Australia, and we are proud to salute and congratulate them.

Professional networks and information exchange within the restaurant scene are also vital for success in today’s tough business environment. For this reason, 2015 saw us introduce our first trade days in Melbourne and Sydney, which we appropriately called Mise en Place – and the success of these events has encouraged us to offer them twice yearly moving forward.

While we are proudly Australian, we are also privileged to be a part of Gault&Millau International, which has been growing for 50 years – and this year we are especially pleased to welcome Morocco, the first African country to join the Gault&Millau family. Moroccan cuisine combines spices and flavours in uniquely delicious ways, and we are looking forward to sharing our passion for food with our friends in Africa.

In closing, we hope you discover many new culinary gems in our Guide, and that you share many delicious meals with family and friends.

Bon appétit!

DAMIEN GALEA, STUDIO 10’S EXPERT BARISTA SHARES HIS RACING DAY REFRESHMENT TIPS

When getting race ready, and wanting a little energy boost before watching the big races unfold, Damien’s favourite go

to drink is a deliciously refreshing cold brew iced coffee!

Damien explains, “The Gloria Jean’s Signature Iced Coffee uses the Toddy Cold Brew Technique. The special process slow brews fresh ground coffee to produce a refreshing drink with a full, smooth coffee flavour which is perfect before a long warm spring day at the races.”

Developed in 1964, the Toddy Cold Brew Technique has revolutionised the way we enjoy coffee and it has allowed us to create a well-balanced and less acidic way to enjoy a cooling cup of coffee.

So how does the Toddy Technique create the perfect cup of cold coffee?

Damien says, “Allowing the right amount of time is a key consideration in creating our Signature Iced Coffee. We start with fresh ground coffee then mix it with cold water and leave to brew for up to 16 hours, allowing us to slowly extract the full flavour compounds of the beans. During this cold brew process, time replaces heat, giving a drink that is full of coffee flavour but with less bitterness and acidity naturally found in hot coffee.”

First created in Cornell by Todd Simpson, the Toddy Technique is the ideal choice for anyone

who wants to enjoy a well-balanced coffee over ice.

“Similar to every cup of coffee, choosing the right beans is essential in creating the perfect cup” said Damien. “We use the Gloria Jean’s Coffees Black Gold Whole Beans. This medium dark roast uses high quality Arabica beans and brings out rich and sweet flavours which makes them the perfect beans for cold brew coffee.”

Gloria Jean’s Coffees has been using the Toddy Cold Brew Technique since it opened the doors of its very first coffee house in 1996.

Damien also says the Signature Iced Coffee has remained a firm favourite with guests: “Our guests have always loved our Signature Iced Coffee; it is one of our most popular cold beverages. Guided by our passion for great tastes, the Toddy method extracts the delicious smooth coffee flavour to create an iced coffee that can be enjoyed anytime of day or night.”

This dish shows off tuna’s jewel-like colour against a background of deep green rocket. Of course you can leave the tuna in the pan for longer if you prefer more of a cooked texture … but you will lose the rich red colour.

Ingredients:

• 1 x 600g piece sashimi-grade tuna (see notes)

• Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

• 100g wild or baby rocket (washed and dried )

• ¼ cup pine nuts

• 600g kipfler potatoes, boiled, peeled and sliced (see notes)

• 3 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced (see notes)

• 3 tablespoons verjuice (see notes)

Method:

1. Toss tuna with salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Set aside.

2. Place the rocket in a bowl, dress with a little olive oil and salt.

3. Heat the pine nuts in a large frying pan, over a medium heat, until pale golden. Tip onto a plate to cool.

4. Add remaining oil to frying pan and cook the potato slices until golden on both sides. Remove

from pan, drain on paper towel and sprinkle with salt.

5. Increase the temperature to high. Place tuna in frying pan and cook for 30-60 seconds on each side until well seared all over, it should still be rare in the center. Remove, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly.

6. Meanwhile, reduce the heat under the frying pan, add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until pale golden.

7. Remove to a plate using a slotted spoon.

8. Toss with rocket and potatoes.

9. Arrange tuna slices in a circle on 4 plates and place salad in the center.

10. Add the verjuice to the hot pan, swirl a couple of times and drizzle over the salad.

Notes:

Remove the fish from the fridge 20-30 minutes before you cook it, to allow it to come to room temperature, this is particularly important if it is being served rare in the center. Sashimi-grade fish is normally sold trimmed, if it is not, trim off any skin and dark muscle before cooking. Kipflers are waxy potatoes that hold their shape well when cooked; other waxy potatoes include charlotte or pink fir apple. Use a Japanese mandolin to cut thin, even slices of garlic. Verjuice is the unfermented juice of unripe grapes, it has a delicate sour flavour and can

be used in place of vinegar or lemon juice in sauces and dressings.

Alternative species: Salmon, swordfish, yellowtail kingfish.
