PHUKET, 27 September, 2010 - HotelTravel.com is cooking up hot hotel deals to promote the Crave Sydney International Food Festival, one of the largest culinary events in the world, which opens 1 October and continues until the end of the month.

Chef Redzepi's visit coincides with the Australian release of his first major book, 'Noma: Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine'. The evening will be even more unique as the organisers have come up with an unbeatable book-and-dine package with his publisher, Phaidon, for this very special event.

"There are also street food tours in some of Sydney's most exciting food districts, heaps of cooking classes and amazing wine dinners.

"Of course HotelTravel.com is very pleased to be able to help support the festival with selection of Sydney hotels near many of the key dinning districts," he added.
