Baby “quirk” cucumbers and their blossoms. We grow this F1 variety for their baby fruit and the blossoms with the fruit attached. With cucumber blossoms the window of time for picking is crucial! Each day you get one fresh flush of new blooms. Once fully opened we go through and carefully pluck them from the vine. Miss a day and they become fruit within 2 days. I love this variety. We purchased this seed from James @activevistagram The seeds they sell are second to none. Check out the website for some unusual and reliable seeds.

REDGATE FARM DUCK

Two EXPressions of duck.

Duck leg confit, seasoned with black fig and duck XO, tucked into a delicate fried bun, glazed with honey and finished with spiced pepitas.

The main event is our dry-aged @redgate.farm_seaham duck, aged for a week before being roasted and smoked on the crown, then finished over the barbecue.

Alongside it, preserved @usher.tinkler black fig purée, Chinese artichokes from @newcastlegreens , purple kale and smoked duck leg bacon, with a rich jus made from the duck bones.

GUEST CHEF SERIES 3

@aaronward88 X @frankfawkner Balmoral Beach, NSW | Hunter Valley, NSW

Two nights only Sunday 8 November Monday 9 November

We’re continuing our Guest Chef Series with a collaboration that brings together two kitchens, two regions and a shared approach to produce — welcoming Aaron Ward, Executive Chef of @batherspavilionrestaurant at Balmoral Beach, for a two-night collaborative degustation here @exprestaurant

Chef Aaron & Chef Frank are working alongside Dylan Abdoo @vegeman_abdoo of @newcastlegreens to curate a menu built around seasonal locally grown produce.

Aaron’s cooking is shaped by some of Australia’s most respected kitchens, including Sixpenny and Shell House, and his approach is grounded in a close relationship with the farmers and producers behind each plate.

Frank’s cooking is rooted in the Hunter Valley: fermentation, native ingredients and the landscape of the region. Aaron brings a perspective shaped by the harbour city and the ocean beyond it. Together, one collaborative degustation in the EXP. Dining Room.

Full menu and wine pairing options to be released soon.
These evenings are intimate by design, with limited seats available.

Reservations can be made via exprestaurant.com.au select your preferred date and the event.

I’m a groupie. I probably wouldn’t recognise a single MAFS superstar if I passed them on the street but I blush when I brush past a sexy cabbage and dirty hands in the soil are my jam.

Which means growers and chefs are my people. Because they, too, get excited by samphire over sapphires.

Spending the morning with @vegeman_abdoo and @mitch_beswick at @newcastlegreens for @meribellaterrigal @crowneplazaterrigalpacific is everything I love about this life!

Thank you for a beautiful morning @jessicasteel22 and Bri and Kali from the @stellar_au team

The first bite of our new menu…

Ben’s cucumber, @hortifutura organically grown in a greenhouse just down the road in Nulkaba, is lightly compressed in our house-made vinegar for a fresh, delicate start.

It’s topped with smoked Arc-en-Ciel trout rillettes, using trout sourced from @troutfarm @nundlensw , just a few hours north. We smoke it in-house, gently pick it down, and fold it through mandarin kosho and mayonnaise for a bright, balanced finish.

To complete the dish: @anandaorganic capers from South Australia, native desert lime, and vibrant nasturtium from @newcastlegreens .

A celebration of local growers, native ingredients, and the incredible produce our region has to offer.

One of our favourite dishes on the menu at the moment.

MOOLOOLABA KING PRAWN
It’s marinated in our house-made shio koji, bringing a delicate floral umami before being lightly poached and served on a traditional Japanese chawanmushi.

The custard is made with a barbecued prawn shell broth, creating a deep, savoury base beneath the prawn. It’s finished with a clear prawn bisque consommé, lemon myrtle oil, baby radish from @newcastlegreens , wild fennel that we forage, red centre lime and fresh shallots.

Served in a custom chawanmushi bowl handcrafted by @alessandrodisarno_ceramics , the lid is lifted at the table to reveal the dish and release the aroma…a moment that’s just as important as the first bite.

Behind every dish is a network of passionate growers, producers and suppliers. ⁠
⁠
These ingredients come from Newcastle Greens in Cooranbong, whose commitment to quality and seasonality helps shape the menu at Meribella.⁠
⁠
By working closely with producers across NSW, we're able to celebrate ingredients at their peak and share the stories of the people who grow them.⁠
⁠
A restaurant shaped by the people, produce and coastline of NSW.⁠
