“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.”

CHEONG: TAKE A FEAST OF HIS HISTORY

CHEONG LIEW PREPARING SOMETHING RADICAL AT Ch REYNELLA, ABDOUT 1982 ... WITH MICHAEL MANNERS AND BARBARA SANTICH ... AUTHOR'S PHOTOGRAPH ... CLICK THE IMAGE AND SCROLL DOWN FOR JEAN DURUZ' AMAZING TALE OF CHEONG'S SIGNATURE DISH, FOUR DANCES OF THE SEA.

Adelaide misses Cheong Liew, who’s been executive chef at The Botanical, in Melbourne, for over a year. Grrrrrr. Jean Duruz, Senior Lecturer in cultural studies in the School of Communication, International Studies and Languages at the University of South Australia, presented an amazing paper on Cheong’s gastronomic intelligence at Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture in Tokyo, Japan. It was the Feb. 21-22, 2009 symposium, “Globalization, Food, and Social Identities in the Pacific Region,” and DRINKSTER has only just found it. Duh! Thanks Jean for your permission. Click image above for link.

PHILIP SEARLE, SECOND FROM LEFT, STANDING, AND CHEONG, RIGHT, ABOUT 1980-81 ... THE AUTHOR WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHO THE OTHER FOLKS ARE, AND WHERE I TOOK THIS ... CARCLEW?
