Dining Enquiries

About

Named after the group of islands which ancient seafarers frequented as part of the Sino-Indonesian-Australian route, Aru touches on early techniques – fermentation, smoking, curing, preserving and fire-licked meat, vegetables and fish.

 

This is a menu for getting together, for sharing, a coming together of cultures and cuisines centred round a wood-fired hearth.
