BEST BAKERY: Sweet Infinity
Sweet Infinity head chef Leanne Beck gets around. The pursuit of pastry-making has taken her as far afield as Paris and London, but these days she’s happily sequestered away in Sydney, where she churns out 400 brownies a week. The 28-year-old lists Russell Crowe amongst her regulars, but no one’s here to drop names: the bakery’s regulars are too busy eyeing off the mousse, caramel slices and tiramisu to care much for celebrity sightings.
There are plenty of savoury treats on offer too – like chicken and corn pie with white wine sauce, pumpkin and fetta rolls, and all manner of fresh-baked breads – but the lemon tart, a house specialty, is the real must-try. (Sophie Tarr)
