“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

HOWARD TWELFTREE AWARD 2015

Duncan Welgemoed (centre, with Milton Wordley and Cheong Liew) gave a brilliant dinner last night at his Africola restaurant in The Botanic Hotel. The selection committee for the annual Howard Twelftree Award met to begin the deliberations for this year's award. Duncan was the inaugural winner in 2014. 

With the support of The Adelaide Review, this award recognises people who make an outstanding contribution to South Australian food. It honours the great restaurant critic and food writer, Howard Twelftree, who died in 2013 ... photos Philip White
