What to do with your weekends
Summer. It ain’t over til it’s over. The kids might be back at school but those warm weekends are still happening. We recommend seeing out the season by venturing to the Yorke Peninsula for some fresh sea air and maybe a brownie, nipping over to Norwood for food + art, heading to the hills for a relaxed meal, or whipping up a super fresh kingfish ceviche with our feature recipe from Dennis Leslie.
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.
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.
Regional restaurants in season
What we really love about eating local across the regions of South Australia is the huge variety on offer. We have just about every imaginable and indulgent ingredient available somewhere across the state, from the fresh-caught seafood of the coast to the hidden fruit bowls of the outback.
