Slow Food dinner to celebrate local food and farmers

There can be few things in life more enjoyable than gathering for a meal that combines good, healthy and fair food from local farmers and producers.

On Monday evening 24 March, Slow Food Noosa will welcome guests to the annual Snail of Approval dinner in the Park and Cove Restaurant at Peppers Resort Noosa.

The evening is to honour those producers recognised by Slow Food Noosa as sharing the philosophy of good, healthy and fair food for all.

A trade display highlighting what is produced in Noosa and surrounds will provide an informative entree to this year’s awards night and three-course dinner.

It will also give guests the chance to talk with producers and farmers about what they do and why it is important to choose good food.

Park and Cove executive chef Andrew Wilcox is putting together an enticing three-course dinner utilising local produce.

Slow Food Noosa patron and celebrity chef Matt Golinski is to host the evening and include comment from the producers.

Guests will have the enjoyment and satisfaction of supporting and tasting good, local food in a wonderful environment.

At the same time there will be some exceotional prizes to be won including a weekend country retreat courtesy of Dave and Julie Moffatt of Mary Valley Yuzu.

The importance of good, healthy and fair food in contributing to overall wellness and a strong community are the philosophies being presented by Slow Food Noosa for more than 20 years.

As the most active convivium in the world-wide movement found in more than 150 countries, Slow Food Noosa encourages education and awareness of these principles through a variety of events throughout the year.

Snail of Approval certification is awarded to farmers, producers, artisans and restauranteurs who meet production levels in line with Slow Food that include sustainability, low food miles and fairness.

Through an emphasis on local, Slow Food also aims to build strong communities in which producers and consumers come together for the celebration and enjoyment of good food.

A night of connection, sustainability, and the best of our region’s produce – this is an event not to be missed.
