INTRODUCING JAMES VILES I BIOTA DINING
Fresh Catering is proud of our partnership with James Viles, chef and
owner of two hatted Biota Dining in Bowral and the vision we share to
strengthen our commitment to the passions that define Biota Dining:
sustainability, local produce and botanical ingredients.
James has created a series of signature four course menus and
interactive culinary installations to bring a taste of Biota Dining to
Vaucluse House Tearooms. Each dish has been carefully crafted
focusing on organic produce, artisanal ingredients and propagated and foraged
botanicals to bring paddock, plant and plate closer together allowing you to
experience Biota Dining’s celebrated cuisine.
‘‘These menus are created using what we have at hand; they reflect
the region and highlight the relationship between the raw ingredient,
the growers and us ‘ the cooks’. ‘’
– James Viles
