Well Sydneysiders I hope you’re ready to step up your exercise regime because you just may need it this October! The Sydney International Food Festival takes over town as part of Crave Sydney and the feast on offer is sure to satisfy our insatiable hunger for good food. The festival sees the return of old favourites like the Night Noodle Markets and Hats off Dinners and newbies like the World Chef Showcase and an exploration into Slow Food with founder Carlo Petrini. So … are you hungry?
