Summer Pasta Pop Up – Daniel Lusi & Eileen Hornell

Friday 17 to Sunday 19 January 2025

Chef friends Daniel Lusi and Eileen Hornell come together for some delicious food and wine under the summer sun at Boomtown Wine, Castlemaine.

Expect 5ish courses (with extras available on the day) from the beautiful produce of the Castlemaine area paired with delicious wine from the Boomtown crew.

Daniel has spent the last seven years splitting his time between Italy and Australia, working on small-scale organic farms and making pasta in various osterie in and around Bologna, following the ancient sfoglia tradition, of which only a select number of artisans remain.

After a brief hiatus from cooking to focus on artisanal cheesemaking and motherhood, Eileen is excited to return to the kitchen, where she can share her passion for local ingredients and showcase her refined culinary expertise. Eileen has previously led the kitchens at Melbourne’s renowned Napier Quarter and Lume, demonstrating her dedication to craftsmanship and her deep appreciation for local producers.
