Philip Khoury x Smith + Deli Bake Sale

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind bake-off as two of the world’s foremost voices in plant-based cuisine, Shannon Martinez and Philip Khoury, come together for an exclusive pop-up bakery event at Smith + Deli.

Phil is the Australian-born former head pastry chef of Harrods in London, where he worked for six years, pioneering an innovative approach to plant-based pastry that won him international acclaim, including the La Liste Pastry Innovation Award in Paris. With a background that includes three-hat Sydney restaurant Quay, as well as time working alongside pastry legend Adriano Zumbo, he has become a trailblazer in vegan pastry, and his new book, A New Way to Bake, is already becoming a benchmark in the field.

Shannon Martinez, the force behind Smith + Daughters and Smith + Deli, has spent 29 years in Melbourne’s kitchens on a mission to change the way people think about vegan food. An “unlikely poster girl” for plant-based dining, she has transformed vegan cuisine into a flavour-packed, high-impact and, inclusive experience that has taken three of her books to the bestseller lists, and her latest, Vegan Italian Food, is well on its way.

We're talking maple cakes, we're talking apple pie, we're talking chocolate mousse cake, we're talking strawberry tarts, we're talking A New Way to Bake. If pastry is something you love, or if eating or cooking vegan is something you care about, this is one festival event you're going to want to be part of.

This event runs from 11am until sold out. Admission is free, with food and drink for sale.
