food & wine.....
Swinging Bridge Estate have asked some of our favourite restaurants to provide us with a recipe to match a Swinging Bridge Wine.
Onesta Cucina - chef Luke Latimer
Onesta Cucina or ‘honest kitchen’ is Bowral’s newest Italian restaurant. Owner Luke Latimer and wife Gemma have returned to Bowral after 10 years living in Sydney. Luke has identified a great opportunity to introduce his own brand of fresh and seasonal Italian cooking to the Highlands.
Luke has been working in the hospitality industry for over 12 years. He has honed his culinary skills working in a number of Sydney’s most reputable restaurants including Fuel Bistro, Fratelli Paradiso, Post and Prime Restaurants and most recently Café Sopra. In 2005 he was heavily involved in assisting Café Sopra host the Gourmet Traveller Magazine’s Restaurant of the Year Awards.
Onesta is defined by Luke’s passion for honest Italian food. Luke's key to honest food is that it is always fresh, seasonal and affordable.
Luke has provided us with the perfect summer recipe to go with a glass of the award winning Swinging Bridge 2006 Chardonnay.
