With RUOK Day fast-approaching on September 12, we asked some of our industry partners and chef lecturers what they do to keep their mental health in check ...
Each year in what has become a society calendar date to watch, the Starlight Five Chefs Dinner is held to raise funds to support the Starlight Children's Foundation. This year the dinner was held on the 27th August at the InterContinental Adelaide. Five of Australia's best chefs including Soon Young Kwon from Bar Torino, Chianti, James Brinklow from The Lane Vineyard, Tony Hart from the InterContinental Adelaide, Stuart Oldfield from Made Catering and Jack Ingram from Southern Ocean Lodge, Kangaroo Island each prepared a course, matching all with the finest wines to present a spectacular five course degustation.
