Let’s Eat Out | Java Room
Dennis & Rosamund Knill
Famed suburban eatery, the Java Room, has occupied its terrace house for an impressive 29 years and remains largely unchanged apart from the occasional refreshed ownership and decor.
Kingfish is on the meatier end of the fish spectrum, so it pairs really well with the pepita miso. I love this dish. It’s got a wicked balance of savoury and brightness. Citrus is my thing and cumquat is such an elegant flavour.
This dessert is our mash-up of a classic tiramisu and the much-loved Australian choccy ripple cake. It’s bogan meets Italy, kind of like driving through Portofino in a VL Commodore, with just as much impact.
Cime di rapa, also known as broccoli rabe in the northern hemisphere, is a leafy, big-tasting plant with strong mustard and turnip-y notes. The stems can be stringy, but when peeled and cooked at a low heat, they wilt into the most delicious addition to any pizza or pasta.
