Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Why Being Seen is Beautiful

There is something profound about being seen. Being accepted and loved for exactly who you are. It’s life changing. It’s simple. It’s transformative. But some people don’t get to experience this. Nearly half of transgender Australians have attempted suicide.That data tells the very real impact of discrimination, stigma and lack of access to gender-affirming surgery. I write this as a woman who was born a woman, who identifies as a woman. I’ll admit, that even in that gender role, that fits within the societal binary, I’ve had my own challenges.

New Azure Executive Chef, Ebony Baker, believes in honouring each ingredient.

Azure Bar and Grill invites Byron food lovers to explore a new food signature that reads like the passport of new Executive Chef, Ebony Baker. 

The Australian-born chef’s culinary purpose began at an early age when she fell in love with how dramatically food changed as she travelled around Europe. 

When she returned to Australia Ebony immediately pursued culinary studies and obtained an apprenticeship, which she completed at the world-renowned Aria restaurant, under Matt Moran. 

She opened her passport again, beginning a 10-year journey across the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean and Antarctica, building the fine-dining techniques required to work on the finest luxury yachts and villas in the world. 

Then in 2018 when she discovered that three of the top 10 restaurants in the world were in South America, she packed her bag and worked in two of them – Aramburu in Argentina and Astrid Y Gaston in Peru. 

With family living in Tweed Heads, Ebony jumped at the opportunity to reinvent the culinary experience at Elements of Byron. 

‘I truly believe in the perfection of every ingredient. Our lettuce is pulled from the earth from nearby farms. We receive the freshest seafood every day. We have our very own kitchen garden.

‘With ingredients like that, it’s easy to honour them with an ethos to use as much of each ingredient as possible, which only enlivens natural flavours with balance, rather than over-producing a dish,’ Ebony says.

Ebony established all new kitchen systems at Elements of Byron to create an environment of heightened creativity, as well as calm refinement. 

‘I want my team to create, learn new techniques and achieve the focus required to ensure that the same degree of attention is applied to a burger as to our Peruvian ceviche,’ Ebony said. 

‘Azure Bar and Grill is such a beautiful, open space. You can dine on the terrace overlooking the Central Lagoon pool or in the hushed dining room inside. It naturally brings people together. 

‘The people of Byron know great food when they taste it. I wanted this menu to bring flavours from around the world together in a way that foregrounds the ingredients and creates an entirely new experience for Byron Bay.’

Ebony’s profound creativity, comprehensive gastronomic knowledge, and mastery of culinary skills is evident in every bite. 

Locals welcome for lunch or dinner.
