The Corner Dairy 2024 Winner
Kingfish ceviche. Duck-liver parfait. Steak and chips. Ho-hum, you might say. Yet, the magic in James Cole Bowen’s cooking at The Corner Dairy lies in the ways he makes the familiar sparkle anew. Rather than go down the razzle-dazzle route, he relies on good sense, letting sound technique, quality produce and native Australian accents do the talking. The result is an ever-evolving menu both timely and timeless, one to keep coming back to over and over, right through to dessert: a wicked bourbon-laced whisky flan, say, or salted Bahen & Co chocolate mousse with Great Southern Groves olive oil.
