Over the years food bloggers have spent a great deal of money taking part in food festival activities, and a great deal of time writing about them.

This is the first collective round-up of all the blogger posts of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival - Week One.

Festival Launch
The launch of festival kicked off on Friday October 1st with an amazing presentation by Rene Redzepi at the Sydney Opera House, attended by Tina (Food, Booze and Shoes) and myself, Anna (Morsels & Musings).


Barbecue Madness

Cabramatta was the scene for the Cabramatta Allsorts Barbecue where 702 Weekend radio was broadcasting. Food bloggers Helen (Grab Your Fork), Trina (The Gourmet Forager), Thang (Noodlies), Simon (Simon Food Favourites) and Alvin (Cinnamon Pig) all took part.


Breakfast on the Bridge
Ladybird (Diary of a Ladybird) was lucky enough to attend this Sydney favourite, an event where turf is laid out across the bridge for an early morning picnic. I event spotted one of my old workmates doing tai chi in a photo!

Drink & Dine
Mademoiselle Délicieuse (Spoon, Fork & Chopsticks) took part in this great degustation dinner called Spain meets Japan with Izakaya Dining at Japaz.
