Perth Good Food & Wine Show…

An abundance of food, wine and gorgeous, talented chefs from all around Australia… what more could I ask for?

The first weekend of July I plan on basking in the delicious and juicy spoils of The Perth Good Food & Wine Show. I attended this culinary event last year and indulged in my passion for food and cooking. In one day I sampled a dozen wines, a full menu prepared by renowned Australian Celebrity chefs and quality local produce to-die-for. Needless to say I “rolled” out the doors a very happy girl.

To compliment the delicious fare, I pre-booked seats in the Celebrity Theatre and felt privileged to watch incredible chefs work. Matt Moran, Gary Mehigan & George Calombaris, and Tobie Puttock were my chefs of choice and I watched them with wonder. I knew then that this event would be an annual fixture in my calendar.

To top the experience off, I managed to earn myself a free Analon Frying Pan by dancing on stage before Gary & George’s show. The crowd had to judge 5 contestants by applause and in my state of adrenalin induced excitement, I somehow got the courage to “shake my booty” to Beyonce’s “Put a Ring On It”. Not a bad way to win quality cookware.

With all this in mind, if you are a self proclaimed “foodie”, enjoy sampling local produce, want to learn more about food and wine or just want to see the professionals do what they do best… then stop what you are doing, book yourself a ticket and get ready for a delicious weekend.

Feast your eyes on the line up of extraordinary Celebrity Chefs who will be attending the show:

• Garry Mehigan
• George Calombaris
• Matt Moran
• Tobie Puttock & Matt Skinner (Performing as a duo matching food and wine)
• Manu Feildel
• Dominique Rizzo

This year I am first in line to see the delectable Manu Feidel work his magic on stage. He has always been my favourite on Ready Steady Cook and I was very excited to see him have such a pivotal role on My Kitchen Rules. I would relish in the opportunity to learn from such an incredible chef, so the prospect of watching Manu in his element is not something I could pass up.

To attend this gastronomic event, book your tickets through Ticketek or The Good Food and Wine Show. Adult entry is $30.00 and there is no additional cost involved to view any of the sessions in the Celebrity Theatre. However, as you can imagine this event is very popular, so book early to avoid disappointment.

To whet your appetite, over the next few days I am going to be releasing some deliciously inciting background information on the Celebrity Chefs. You’d never guess that Manu went amateur circus school before learning how to cook…

On that note, I am going to leave you with a really silly “oldie but a goodie”

“Does this taste funny to you?”

Keep cooking everyone
