Biota Dining
Hey, fans of adventure, mystery, treats and the great outdoors. Join Myffy Rigby and chefs David Moyle (Franklin, Hobart), James Viles (Biota, Bowral) and Aaron Turner (Igni, Geelong) for a wild picnic in the woods of the Southern Highlands. Ingredients are hunted, foraged and gathered from the wild and nearby farms, and prepared using just the elements. Travel provided from Biota to a secret location.

18 Kangaloon Road, Bowral, October 4, 12pm-3.30pm, $240

Eat Pei Quick
Time poor, but lunch fussy? Check out the express menu at Mark Best's Pei Modern. Choose from a daily changing menu that features dishes such as duck ham, beetroot and native apples or scotch fillet, mash, burnt butter and mushrooms.

Four Seasons Hotel, 199 George Street, Sydney, October 1-2, 5-9, 12-16, 19-23, 26-30, noon-3pm, $38

Moon Park goes Korean-Chinese
Ever heard of Junghwa yori? Yes? Gold star. For everyone else, it's Korean-Chinese cuisine - little seen in Sydney, but something we're thoroughly ready for. Explore a wealth of dishes at the hands of chefs Ben Sears and Eun Hee An such as the noodle dish jajangmyeon, seafood soup jjampong and even the ubiquitous Korean fried chicken over a five-course banquet. That's at least five good reasons to frequent this Sydney favourite.

34B Redfern Street, Redfern, October 6, 6pm-10pm, $85

The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Month presented by Citi runs October 1 - 31, sydney.goodfoodmonth.com.
