On what is generally regarded as the coldest week of the year at Pomona, it was snug inside the historic Majestic Theatre for Slow Food Noosa’s Film With Food evening.
The sold-out event was part of the Noosa Alive Festival and saw celebrated chef Matt Golinski combine with fellow chefs Luigi Logrieco and Alberto Vitassovich of Lucio’s Marina Restaurant, and Glenn Bowman of Pitchfork at Peregian Beach to present a menu to warm the heart.
Two of Slow Food Noosa’s longest serving members, former president Erika Hackett and Ann Marshall, put together an amazing event.
The Majestic Theatre is heritage-listed and was built in 1921 and opened as a silent movie theatre. It has an old-world charm with a theatre organ and a gallery.
A three course Italian dinner, inspired by the film, was prepared and served by the chefs and Slow Food Noosa committee members.
The Perfect Dinner is a delectable immersion in the world of Italian cuisine.
Food, family, love and the Mafia were the ingredients and mixed with suspense, action and a pinch of romance.
All proceeds now go to Slow Food and used to support programs with special emphasis on sending Noosa delegates to the Terra Madre Salone del Gusto world conference at Turin, Italy, in September 2024.
Slow Food Noosa is part of the organisation which is operating in more than 160 countries around the world, under three main principles: Good, clean, and fair: Good quality, flavoursome and healthy food; Clean production that does not harm the environment; Fair prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers.
