Home » Blog » Good Food & Wine Show - We wined... We dined!
The circus has arrived.. and leading todays extravaganza was none other than the former clown himself, Manu Feidel.
Some fun and frivolity kicked off the day with TV chef and Brisbane local Alistair Macleod warming up the crowd and sharing a plethora of freebies. We weren’t waiting long before Manu made his big screen appearance a fairly risqué opening video, including four French maids. But nonetheless.. we were here to see the man cook and he did not disappoint. A fabulous menu, some juggling and even a few stolen kisses. But Manu brought the house down with his candid humour and French flair.
The Good Food & Wine Show 2011 was definitely worth the wait.. it has graced the shores of Melbourne, Sydney and Perth before FINALLY making it to us here in Brisbane. Ample wine tastings and an excellent array of local produce will ensure this year’s event is as spectacular as always. We sampled everything from biscuits, deserts, cordials, cocktails, burgers, German sausage, peanut brittle, sauces galore and much much more!
Cocktail classes kept the crowds coming in.. the free tastings afterwards may have enticed a few!
The most incredible little rubix cube like invention tickled my fancy! It can make just about anything that into a cube. I am in love! Normally an avid supporter of the ‘less is more’ philosophy in my kitchen cupboards.. I couldn’t resist snapping up this cute little rubix cube like device. Although marketed more for the sushi lovers, this little cutie can also be used to make flat bases for H’orderves, biscuit bases, brownies.. you name it! The rice cube is an Australian invention.. check out how easy and fun it is HERE
If you pop in store over the coming weeks don’t be surprised when your cookies and brownies are square. I promise the coffee will still be in a round vessel though!
Also a BIG feature of this years show was the Gluten Free section. A massive array of produce, ingredients and cookbooks as well as a live cooking demonstration stage exclusively for the GF crowds. We fell in love with Rowie’s Cakes and honestly if I didn’t already know it was Dairy and Gluten free.. I never would have known! Definitely no cardboard in this kitchen!
Long and the short of it – If you are in and around Brisbane this weekend – pop into the Good Food and Wine Show at the Convention Centre.. and bring your appetite!
