L Plates – Learn from the Masters
For those of you who enjoy a hands-on approach to learning TAFE SA’s Regency International Centre is presenting a series of classes featuring some of South Australia’s best known food personalities and chefs. These will be practical and fun cooking classes with limited amounts of participants in each (about 15) allowing plenty of opportunity for everyone to make the most of their time. Choose from a selection of 25 different classes over the course of the week covering everything from meat boning and preparation with Richard Gunner, to vegetarian treats with Simon Bryant – and all points in between.
If you are more like me and prefer to take the opportunity to have your meal prepared for you then you might like to have a little wander down this list of dining options. There is a remarkable selection here to choose from, not only in the diversity of local, national and international chefs and cuisines, but also in locations, giving regional food fans a chance to take part in the festivities and offering interstate and overseas visitors the option of enjoying a slightly bigger picture of South Australia.
Sit back and enjoy watching a cast of some of the finest Australian and overseas restaurant chefs take the best South Australian produce and turn it into tempting and delicious dishes right before your eyes in FREE demonstrations at BankSA’s Feast for the Senses at Elder Park.
This is one of my favourite events in the Tasting Australia calendar. Selector Word of Mouth is a series of FREE debates, discussions and ‘In Conversation’ sessions with more than 50 national and international food, drink and travel authors and journalists, food personalities, producers and academics. With participants which include Stephanie Alexander, Senator Nick Xenophon and Maeve O’Meara you can be assured of lively and informative discussion.

What a plethora of choice – fabulous sounding cooking classes !
I’ve struck gold with a work/media trip to the festival. It’s been on my list of things to do for a few years now. I’m really looking forward to it, and to catching up with you Amanda. Thanks for the reminder that there’s not long to go!
Ahh sadly we just left SA but had a great time there! Perhaps another year for Tasting Australia 🙂
Ooh thanks for the reminder! I looked at this a while back and then never got round to booking anything, I hope I can find something to do.
Not many sleeps to go now Amanda!
