"I love that we are getting together tonight in what was once an electrical substation - because there are so many powerhouses in this room, and so much beautiful energy. A lot of that energy comes from our chef collaboration this year with the Fink Group, founded by Leon Fink in 1985 and built into a formidable force that has shaped Sydney dining into greatness...and we have an all star team of their top chefs in the kitchen right now."

Words from our long-term partner and ever-inspiring Do Gooder Jill Dupleix, who introduced the masters behind this year's feast. A huge thank you to all of our chef partners and food sponsors that helped us bring this night together, including:

• Lennox Hastie and Swati Singh from GILDAS, for their Gildas and Basque cheesecakes
• Rob Cockerill, Head Chef of BENNELONG, for his delectable canapes, including the most incredible prawn toast with chili aioli
• Tim Mifsud and Troy Crisante, Co-Head Chefs of QUAY, for their beautiful salad of Ramarro Farm greens and brown butter potatoes with chestnut emulsion
• Richard Ptacnik, Head Chef of OTTO Sydney, for his slow-braised lamb shoulder with gremolata
