A breath of fresh local: Experience the Eat Local SA ethos
It’s true that most local produce-loving foodies have a favourite place (or three), where all the pieces come together to create much more than a meal. These places become an experience, where the food, plus the service, plus the unique characteristics of that venue deliver a treat for all the senses.
Made with their own fair hands: Caterers cooking local
Isn’t it nice that South Australia’s caterers love the eat local ethos as much as our restaurant chefs? Because knowing you can buy something scrumptiously beautiful to eat, made from locally sourced produce, means we can feel extra good about supporting local producers, – even if we’re not the one in the apron.
Pass the cheese please!
It’s time to ponder the rise of the free-form menu, nip out for a sip of something warming, and welcome the rich flavours for winter with a super tasty recipe from Maggie Beer that’s simple enough for a weeknight, yet special enough for a family weekend get together.
Clare Valley calling all gourmets
It’s time to go up country, people. The Clare Valley is an easy 90 minute drive from Adelaide and it’s a haven for a food-loving soul in need of some R&R. Yes, you can do it in a day, but why would you? When a long weekend comes calling, this is the place to be.
