Five chefs, five courses and a 100-mile radius. That was the recipe for Thursday night’s locavore degustation dinner at Byron Bay’s Kulchajam, celebrating the first anniversary of the group’s food co-op. Sharon Shostak tasted the flavours for us.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Such an fantastic night and truly inspiring and amazing food. Such simplicity, flavour and artistry. A wonderful evening. Thank you Kulcha Jam and all the chefs, farmers. helpers and organisers and planet.
What’s a mile? Oz hasn’t had miles for half a century! I, being sedulous not indolent like the writer of this article, metricated when the Metric Conversion Act of 1970 was enacted – I was 31. If you wan/t to remain indolent why don’t you use roods, rods, perches, chains, shekels, ponds, shillings & pence etc as well as imperial (no it doesn’t deserve upper case “I”!! Of course you could drag yourself, kicking & screaming no doubt, into the 21st century, become sedulous Like I, and be a Leader instead of a crankyanker culture follower!
I think Trevor that the people hosting these events talk in terms of ‘food miles’ and the ‘100 mile table’ because these terms originated in the UK and America. Or perhaps a 100 kilometre table is just too short.
