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.
Come on over: Staying (and eating) local
We love the theory that this is the time of year things start to wind down and we can all relax. Here’s an idea. How about a little time out to tempt your taste buds as well as soothe your weary soul? Well, have we got a relaxing, tasty idea for you!
From farm gate to you: Stories of local summer flavour
Summer’s here. You can scent it on a warm breeze, see it in the bright hues of the season’s fruit and vegies and, even better, you can taste it too. What better time than this to make a foray out of your usual haunts to the gates of the farms where those delectable goodies grow?
Surfing the menu
As the song lyric says, I do like to be beside the seaside, and Yorke Peninsula has seasides and seafoods for all tastes, plus other great produce, from olive oil to fantastic local snags, olives, lamb and more. Yorke Peninsula is the source of seafood so fresh it makes chefs interstate and overseas weak with envy.
