Connecting at the Table
A culinary initiative that transcends traditional dining.
Lyndey Milan redefines the table as a place of shared stories and memories, not just meals. This vision sees food as a powerful catalyst for connection, breaking cultural and social barriers and bringing people closer in the most universal way – through shared meals.
Lyndey’s approach nourishes not just the body but the mind and soul, creating an enriching dining experience that goes beyond culinary delights. Her philosophy celebrates diversity, with each dish representing a tapestry of global flavours and traditions, inviting guests to embark on a cultural and sensory journey. This initiative is also about building communities, as Lyndey emphasises local produce and regional cuisines, nurturing a sense of pride and connection while supporting local artisans and preserving culinary heritage.
“Connecting At The Table” is Lyndey’s vision for the future of dining, where traditional practices meet modern trends, appealing to contemporary tastes while remaining authentic and soulful.
This concept is not just about enjoying food; it’s about understanding the stories behind each dish and the people who share the meal. Join us in this unique culinary adventure, where every meal is a discovery, and every gathering is a cherished memory in the making. With Lyndey Milan, dining is an exploration of the world and ourselves, a celebration of connection and culture at every table.

It is always a joy to visit my grandchildren in Singapore on my way home.
So cute in their Indian outfits but even better timing when it is Chinese New Year and they are off school! Lots of time to read stories, celebrate the New Year with dragon dances and other traditional activities.
Also time to make pasta by hand - they were great at kneading the dough which I then rolled and cut (you can see how much they enjoyed it with a tomato sauce), fun on a family bike, Isabel dressing up like me and climbing fun at Hendersons Waves with only limited iPad time allowed. Swipe right for pics.
Farewell beautiful #maggietabberer . Your memorial was elegant & stylish just like you. You were a trailblazer, a true icon, fun to work with & to know. Thank you @brookietab & @amanda_tabberer for putting on such a fitting farewell. Lovely speeches @deborahhutton @schofield_leo and family. You did her proud. Never forgotten, always in our hearts.
I am a fan of letting those close to you know how you feel about them every day and not just on a designated day such as Valentine’s Day, which can be alienating for those who are alone. So here’s 3 courses of easy recipes to make for whomever you like - friends, family, loved ones or just yourself.
🦪Oysters make a great start and the prawn dish is so easy because they are just wrapped up in baking paper with some other goodies to simply go in the oven and then serve one per person🍤. Just add a side salad to these and the moreish smashed potatoes. Everything is designed be easy and casual with gorgeous little chocolate meringues to finish.
Looking for an easy but impressive dish to make for your next dinner party? Give my crisp skinned duck breast with soft polenta a try.

Comment DUCK and I’ll send you across the recipe.

#Throwbacks to 2006 & 2024 (swipe right) when I launched Tasting Success, my female chef mentoring programme and @chefmattmoran was one of my first mentors. He was so enthusiastic and remained a wonderful mentor for many years.
We had met in 1991 when he and his then business partner Peter Sullivan opened the Paddington Inn. I clearly remember going to a dinner there and him serving his family’s lamb. We have known each other ever since, with us both in the Sydney food world. He went on from success to success, the result of hard work as well as talent.
There are memories too many to share here, but recently at mutual friends’ wedding, we had a rare opportunity to spend some great one-on-one time in the midst of the joy and energy of the wedding going on around us.
Do you know the difference between crepes and pancakes?🥞 Crepes are thinner with more egg and less flour than pancakes.
Many people find they need to throw out their first crepe when making them as it can be uneven. Did you know there is a simple technique to prevent this?
1. Heat a small crepe pan, over medium high heat.
2. Add a knob of butter and when melted, wipe out with a clean kitchen towel.
3. Return to heat and pour or ladle in 2 tablespoons of batter, or enough to thinly cover the base of the pan as you tilt it to spread the batter evenly. If there is too much mixture, tip the excess out.
