Tobie and Matt: Asia and Europe DVD

Discover the best food and wine destinations with delicious recipes and wine recommendations

Tobie & Matt is the new stunningly photographed food, wine and travel series from LifeStyle FOOD featuring best mates chef Tobie Puttock (Restaurant Fifteen Melbourne and Jamie's Kitchen Australia) and sommelier and wine writer Matt Skinner (Head of wine operations for Restaurant Fifteen Group and author of The Juice). Tobie returned to Australia from Europe in 2005 to set up Restaurant Fifteen in his home town of Melbourne and Matt returned to Australia early this year. Seizing their last opportunity for some time to travel around Europe together, they visit four famous food and wine destinations Lucca in Italy, Bergerac France, Barcelona Spain and Athens, Greece. Some are favourite haunts and some are new experiences. Their first task in each area is to find expat Aussies, friends of friends or locals who have spent time in Australia to act as their local guides and mentors. They then set themselves the challenge of taking just three days to absorb the local sights, flavours, wines and cooking styles. At the end of this time Matt selects a stunning local wine which Tobie then matches to a menu of three locally inspired dishes to serve up for their hosts and mentors.
