Ben Shewry Book Tour

Food & Drink

Wed 2nd October, 2024 – Fri 8th November, 2024

Price: $25-$55

Celebrate the launch of the lauded chef's new memoir, and leave with his famed bolognaise in a take-home mug.

To celebrate the launch of his new book Uses for Obsession: A Chef’s Memoir, Ben Shewry – chef and owner of internationally lauded Melbourne fine diner Attica – is touring the country for a series of talks and book signings.

Melbourne fans are in for a special treat, with serves of his famed bolognaise on offer, in take-home mugs, at his first two tour stops.

The chef’s love for the humble pasta sauce, a special occasion meal in the Shewry family, has become an obsession – hence his book’s title.

The tour will kick off with Shewry’s book launch at Fitzroy Town Hall, featuring a conversation with Aussie radio presenter Zan Rowe. Tickets start at $25 and include Attica’s famous bolognaise. (Update: the Fitzroy Town Hall event has sold out.)

If you head to the Prahran Market book signing at G McBean Family Butchers on October 5, you can also purchase Shewry’s lockdown-famous lasagne.

If you miss these first two talks, you can still catch Shewry elsewhere in Melbourne and Victoria – but without his signature dishes in tow.
