Invasion of the Super Chefs!

Australia is quite obviously is the flavour of the year for international celebrity chefs, not only will Anthony Bourdain and Heston Blumenthal be gracing our shores, but Jamie Oliver’s only talk in Australia this year will be at The Regent Theatre on the 6^th of March. He’ll do what he does best – talking up food education and inspiring people to cook and eat quality, fresh food.

Down South out West

Speaking of all things Southern, The Royal Mail Hotel on Spencer will be firing up the BBQ on Thursday nights for the rest of summer – they’re offering Texas BBQ 'Ribs & Wings' for $25 per person from 5.30 – 9.30 until sold out.

Still looking for Food and Wine Fest ideas?

How about a three hour masterclass with a couple of Melbourne masters? Max Allen is “the” go-to man for all things wine - I’m still devastated I can’t plug his fabulous Thursday night wine tasting course because he doesn’t seem to have had the time to run any for a little while. Richard Cornish is a respected food writer, and collaborator with Frank Camorra on the Mo Vida cookbooks. Together they’ll be teaching people how to fine-tune their noses and trust their tongues in a workshop aimed at getting maximum pleasure from your own palate. Luscious wines, Spanish jamon and stinky cheeses a’plenty!

Taste 101: A Master Class in Flavour
6 – 8 March from 6pm – 9pm at William Angliss Institute, City.
