The September edition of Gourmet Traveller is now out, and accompanying it is the 2010 Australian Restaurant Guide. Now, one of my favourite things is to study restaurant guides like a racing fanatic about to bet his money on the bob-tail nag. These things are my nourishment. The Gourmet Traveller awards are always an interesting pre-cursor to the NSW biggies, the SMH Good Food Guide Awards. A little like the Golden Globes to the Oscars. As Gourmet Traveller takes a national overview of the restaurant industry, the detail afforded to local establishments is much less than in the Good Food Guide. However, the Southern Highlands did have one mention...
So, congratulations to Luke Latimer and his team at Onesta Cucina (Shop 2, The Penders, cnr Station & Wingecarribee Sts, Bowral; ph 02 4861 6620). They received a glowing review, and I recommend you pick up a copy of the latest Gourmet Traveller to receive your copy of the Guide, and immerse yourself in the foodie goodness the magazine is always stuffed full of.
Now to the Oscars. The SMH Good Food Guide awards are just over a week away, and I have some high hopes for a few of our local restaurants. The Southern Highlands region usually makes a decent-sized contribution to the guide, and we have some newcomers who will hopefully appear. I hope we manage to retain at least two local "Hats".

And now...Cookshop Commercial
We would also like to introduce our business customers to Cookshop Commercial. Launched in May 2008, Cookshop Commercial was developed specifically with hospitality customers in mind. Cookshop Commercial is able to offer a trade price to those "in the business", whether you have a restaurant, cafe, catering company, hotel, B&B, school kitchen, retreat, nursing home, or any other myriad of businesses which might require commercial kitchenware.
In the short time in which we've been open, the business has grown exponentially and, in some cases, into some unpredicted areas. We have had the excitement of bringing convenience and value in commercial kitchenware to the Southern Highlands, and have built a customer base spanning the entire area, encompassing many of the Highlands' best-known businesses. We have also had the pleasure of fitting out a number of fantastic new ventures, including Montrose Berry Farm, Armory Wharf Cafe and Burrawang General Store Cafe.
Cookshop Commercial is located at Unit 6, 8 Kiama St, Bowral (opposite Bowral Bricks). If you are an ABN holder and require kitchenware for a commercial application, come in and see us, or call us on 02 4961 5951. We are also happy to come to you, should you need us to undertake a visual assessment of your requirements. Being a locally-based business, we pride ourselves on being able to provide an efficient, convenient and, most importantly, personalised service to our customers. We look forward to meeting you!
