Sobre el evento

Join pastry chef Lauren Eldridge and OzHarvest for a four-course dinner at Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney, all made using up to 95% beautiful, fresh and rescued NSW produce. Awarded 2026 Chef of the Year by the SMH Good Food Guide, Lauren Eldridge is the head pastry chef at Paisano and Daughters. Eldridge’s innovative, visually stunning desserts celebrate seasonal and local produce, and have earned her a formidable reputation across prestigious kitchens globally. Celebrating rescued ingredients and social change, she and Refettorio’s team will develop a unique four-course menu, with two courses from Eldridge, and two from OzHarvest chefs. It’s part of OzHarvest’s Our Shared Future, a dinner series for Vivid Sydney, featuring seven of NSW’s most exciting chefs in one-night-only collaborations with Refettorio’s team.
