Why Andrew sets the table under the stars in the Australian Outback


Listen Later

As Andrew Dwyer ventured further into the desert, he fell in love with the people and the landscape. He battled sandstorms, floods and isolation to serve fine foods under the stars.

When Andrew Dwyer was growing up in 1960s Melbourne, the city wasn't the foodie destination it is now, in fact it was often described as a "culinary wasteland".

But luckily for Andrew, his Czechoslovakian godfather and his Chinese stepmother introduced him to incredible flavours and cooking techniques from further afield.

At the same time, Andrew was bushwalking and skiing and falling in love with the outdoors.

Eventually, he combined his passion for wild places with his passion for good food.

Andrew started venturing further and further west, far into the Australian outback — and he took his fine foods with him.
