The Brunswick Mess Hall shows us how to make an all-American apple pie hot toddy to help give us a glow on the cold winter nights.

This sweet and sultry winter warmer offers the kind of the sensory experience usually associated with a big stack of pancakes or a bowl of grandma’s apple crumble. If that idea tickles your fancy, there is an optional addition of bacon bitters. But it’s delicious and indulgent enough without it. Indeed, even if you don’t go for the bitters, the smokiness of the American bourbon should still shine through and offset the sweetness.

Whether you’re having friends over on the weekend or just treating yourself at home, you can’t go past this cocktail – thanks to The Brunswick Mess Hall – on a cold, winter evening.

It’s just right.”

Meet the man championing the cause for Renaissance art and its old school techniques and rebelling against the whims of contemporary art in the process.

He may have a penchant for riding motorbikes, but Eolo Paul Bottaro is a sucker for tradition. After spending time downing espressos with the Melbourne-born Sicilian artist at his marble dining table, it’s hard not to become swept up in his ways

Drawing from the traditions of the great Renaissance painters – Michelangelo, Leonardo, Titian and Caravaggio – Bottaro performs his craft at a time when the popularity of figurative painting has long been suppressed under the dominant, conceptual art forms and new media.
