Time to celebrate and enjoy local food

With all the upheaval taking place in the US surrounding tariffs there has never been a better reminder of why we should celebrate and enjoy local produce.

Embark on a culinary journey of food and film with Slow Food Noosa as part of the GourMAY Mary Valley Food Festival.

It promises to be an unforgettable evening at Kandanga Hall with an inspiring film, and a menu based on local produce prepared by Slow Food Noosa Snail of Approval chef Josh Smallwood.

The heartwarming film Chef Antonio’s Recipes for Revolution is set in the picturesque Piedmont region of Northern Italy.

Follow Chef Antonio de Benedetto’s inspiring quest to transform the world, one delicious dish at a time.



To complement this delightful cinematic experience, chef Josh Smallwood and the Slow Food team have crafted a delectable Italian-themed menu, perfectly paired with the film’s flavours and spirit.


Adding to the magic of the night, filmmaker Dr. Trevor Graham will join “live” via Zoom for a special Q&A session.

Dive deeper into this feel-good story, filled with heart, soul, and a generous helping of laughter.
