Australian Recipes & Drink Pairings
Cocktail recipes, food and wine pairings, and seasonal Australian cooking. Every dish gets a drink. Every drink gets a dish.
From slow-braised lamb shoulder with a Barossa shiraz to a homemade negroni with a Penny’s Hill grenache. Real Australian recipes, honest bottle reviews, and a library of producers worth knowing. Updated weekly with what’s in season.
The recipes that belong on the table this week.
The differentiator
Food and drinks are a duet. Tequila with tacos. Riesling with curry. An Old Fashioned with slow-cooked lamb. Three featured pairing rooms to start with, more landing every week.
Pairings · Mexican
Margaritas, Palomas and mezcal next to tacos al pastor and pork carnitas. The pairing that taught us this site needed to exist.
Pairings · Indian
Off-dry Clare Valley Riesling and a cold Kingfisher walk into a butter chicken. Only one of them comes back out a winner.
Pairings · Italian
Tuscan reds with slow-cooked ragu, vermentino with snapper, an Aperol Spritz before dinner because we’re not animals.
Cocktails
We drink with our dinner, not around it. These are the ones that belong on the table.
