Planning your party season
Once the spring racing carnival fashions hit the stores, we know it’s a (scarily) short countdown to the summer holidays and the festive season. At Eat Local SA, we’re here to help, so this issue of Eat Like a Local is all about cunning culinary Christmas ideas to help you eat and play local this party season. And if you’re eating at home, our recipe in this issue showcases the world-renowned produce of Kangaroo Island.
Island of indulgence
I think of Kangaroo Island as a gigantic ‘farm stay’ style paradise, combining the laid-back pace of island life with that special breed of ingenuity and commitment distance brings. I invite you to ponder that thought while you sample the amazing range of produce here.
Would you like art with that?
Spring is always inspiring for food-focused folks. But while we are watching for the first bunches of tender asparagus and those brilliant green baby broad beans to appear, August isn’t just a waiting game for the new season in South Australia. Instead, it’s when we go on a state-wide art binge, and Eat Local SA venues are hosting a veritable art feast right now.
Plus we have new Eat Local SA participating venues to introduce to you, news of tours and special offers, and a fantastic recipe from Beerenberg Farm to celebrate the end of winter.
A regional feast
There’s a chill in the air at long last, and it’s time to get cosy with some great South Australian produce at your favourite Eat Local SA venue. From Adelaide city and suburbs, to Coonawarra down south, and north to the Flinders, we’re all set for some fine feasting, plus our feature recipe from Taste the Yorke will get your creative mojo going in the kitchen.
