For 8 years, Danielle Alvarez presided at Fred's on Oxford Street, Sydney, over a stylish open kitchen and hearth, roasting pedigreed lamb legs and chickens, in full view of the fortunate few to have secured a booking. And, if Oxford Street was a long way from the Cuban immigrant community in which Danielle grew up in Miami, Florida, the imprint of that exotic childhood, and her grounding in the pioneering farm-to-table ethos of the US west coast restaurant culture of the 2000s, all found their mark. She has stopped to catch her breath, putting the finishing touches to the manuscript of a new cookbook, her second. To hear Danielle as she works through what began as a pause, but seems to be burgeoning into a new chapter, listen now.
