This weekend the Good Food & Wine Show is back in Brisbane to tantalise your taste buds! And best of all, I will be participating in a cooking competition against a fellow blogger, creating my own recipe with Gourmet Garden herbs. The cook off starts at 11am at the 'chopping block' stand, so please come and cheer me on. After the excitement of the cook off I'll be picking up a shopping list of goodies.
There will be hundreds of exhibitors at the show, live cooking demonstrations and wine tastings. Here are some exhibitors I encourage you to visit:
Pana Chocolate – Australian handmade chocolate made from raw and organic ingredients, it's the healthiest and tastiest chocolate I've tried and comes in yummy flavours like rose and mint. The packaging is also very cute and recyclable.
Pukara Estate – olive grove in the Hunter Valley producing premium extra virgin olive oils which come infused with garlic, lime, lemon, chilli, pepper, wasabi and truffle. Perfect with bread and a bit of sea salt.
Villa Maria Estate – I visited the cellar door when I was in Marlborough NZ last January, they have a very big range and beautiful Chardonnays. Their Gewürztraminer is also worth a try for something different.
Wirra Wirra Vineyards – a more well know producer from South Australia, my favourite wines are from their RGT Collection.
Barambah Organics Dairy - produces a range of certified organic dairy products and was most recently awarded a Delicious Produce Award for their all natural yoghurt.
Barossa Valley Estate - BVE is located in the gorgeous Barossa Valley and their cellar door is very warm and welcoming with fireplace and comfy lounges. I have a bottle of BVE Ebnenezer Shiraz '05 waiting for a special occasion.
Maggie Beer Products - Maggie has had astounding success over the last few years, which is not surprising considering the quality of her gourmet products. A good place to pick up some Christmas gifts. Maggie has also designed the menu for the Oxford Landing Restaurant, which is worth stopping by after bustling around the exhibition.
I'm also looking forward to discovering some new food delights, tasting a lot of cheese and wine of course.
Hope to see you Sunday!
