The Parisi name was well-established in the world of fresh produce by the time Julian Parisi was born. He literally grew up at Sydney Produce Market, helping his father and uncles source the best produce for their Rose Bay shop. Julian is now Managing Director of the Parisi family business and at Sydney Market 5 days a week, meeting with growers and wholesalers to source premium fruit, vegetables and herbs for the likes of Neil Perry, Peter Gilmore and the Merivale empire. In Auburn, at Gima and Harkola, we’ll be guests of the Eris and Issac families who have been importing the best specialty goods from Turkey, Lebanon and the Middle East for decades.

We’ll meet at Parisi warehouse by 6am (5.30 if you’d like to join me for coffee)

  • Coffee at Sydney Produce Market (if you’re there by 5.30am)

I was lucky enough to attend one of Roberta's Duck and Pinot walks with a group of friends. It was a fantastic afternoon and I can't recommend it highly enough. Roberta is great company and a fantastic guide to the best food experiences Sydney has to offer.

Roberta organises really enjoyable and relaxed dinners where you not only get to eat delicious food from a wide range of cuisines, but also find out more about the cooking techniques and produce with the chefs and producers. I highly recommend 'Be Inspired' dinners.

Went on the Duck & Pinot tour wonderfully hosted and curated by Roberta - thank you. There was a lot of duck to eat and other dishes as well. Plus I learned about wine and the people who run the restaurants. An event for multiple types of occasions. Can't wait for the next one.

What an amazing morning touring Sydney Produce Market with Roberta - meeting the growers & agents of some amazing produce & tasting things along the way. My favourites were the red & yellow prickly pears, jujubes, longans, & fresh pistachios. Next was Gozleme for breakfast in Auburn then a tour & tasting at Gima Turkish supermarket & Harkola Middle Eastern warehouse. Highly recommended.

I recently joined Roberta with friends & colleagues on the Duck & Pinot Walk - incredible afternoon visiting 3 duck restaurants, each very different to the other. Superbly organised! Roberta's first hand knowledge of each dish and her relationship with the restaurant owners made for an extremely enjoyable & memorable time. Would recommend this for families, work functions or just friends getting together.
