Give the gift of South Australian flavour this Christmas. We asked our Eat Local SA participating businesses and South Australian food and beverage manufacturers to share their Christmas gift ideas to make it super easy for you, so go ahead, treat your favourite people (and maybe yourself too). Ah, Robern Menz – yes, there’s a reason they’ve…
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.

Eat Like a Local is back in the Barossa this month. Why? Because as soon as the nights start to cool and those autumnal tones appear, our thoughts turn to relaxing with friends over a dish or two just bursting with rich, full flavor. Don’t miss the autumn flavours from one of South Australia’s favourite playgrounds.
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?
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.
What better way to snuggle up through the last days of winter than to do it by cuddling up to a hearty meal? It’s easy to dine fine on South Australia’s best when you know where to find it. Winter says to us: fresh baked pastries, slow-cooked meats and beautiful seafood straight from the chilly seas.
We love cafes, don’t we? Wherever they are, there’s an enticing aroma of treats in store, perhaps a signature coffee or cake, and always the lure of a little time out. For us, the cherry on top of a café date is when the signature dishes showcase the local producers, and that’s exactly what these cafes are doing.
With great local brews and wines to warm the cockles of our hearts and fine regional foods to match, South Australia’s many fine cellar doors are a rich hunting ground. Not only will we find our long-established regional favourites there, but we might also find the next iconic South Australian product too.
The breeze is brisk, the kitchen calls. It’s time to do a little retail therapy, foodie style. Happily, this is something South Australia does especially well. Even better, some of our gourmet retailers are to be found nestled in the prettiest parts of the state.
There’s something so relaxing about eating at the pub, isn’t there? Great food, a nice drop, no fuss. It’s a recipe for good times. Given South Australia’s brewing and distilling industries got cracking when the first British settlement here was barely more than a toddler, it’s no surprise our state has lots to offer.
Welcome to Mad March in beautiful, festival-fevered Adelaide. Yes, it’s crazy busy and yes, it’s easier to book a cab than pray for a carpark, but oh, what a city this is when she has her festival frock on. Hunker down with that espresso martini, people, we’ve got some serious eating to do.
A river life is a good life – just ask anyone who spends their time soaking up the serenity lounging on a houseboat deck, or tucking into a plate graced with river-fed produce while watching the local wildlife do … whatever it is local wildlife likes to do.
If the region known as the Limestone Coast isn’t very familiar to you, here’s a name I bet you do know. Coonawarra. That extraordinarily tiny strip of terra rossa soil that pumps out those extraordinarily huge red wines. Are you with me? Right, well the food is also rather amazing.
If I had to pick two words to sum up the Eyre Peninsula, those words would be spectacular and friendly. Spectacular scenery and spectacular seafood is the reason they call Eyre Peninsula; Australia’s Seafood Frontier, and they’ve just picked up a gold award from SA Tourism to prove it.
