Jimmy Shu's Taste of the Territory
Flavour
The dry season in the Top End is a time for festivals. And one of the most popular is Glenti, a Greek cultural festival. Jimmy meets some of the Greek community preparing food for the event and learns to make the Greek speciality ‒ dolmades. Next Jimmy goes inside the home of recent arrivals to Darwin – Jordanian mother and son Nadeem and Taghreed who run the food truck Flavours of Damascus. They show Jimmy how to make one of their favourite home cooked recipes – Lamb Kabsa. Jimmy visits a tiny eatery well-hidden in an arcade off the Darwin Mall. Sumatra Cafe, which serves authentic Indonesian food and has a horde of loyal followers. Finally, Jimmy settles in at one of Darwin’s original tropical homes, the historic Burnett House. Here he prepares a local specialty of pearl meat ceviche.
