LOcal Flavours II
SATURDAY OCTOBER 26 2024
Monbulk Rangers Soccer Club - Monbulk
The team behind "Local Flavours I", "The Italian Takeover", "Local Flavours I" and the sausage sizzle at the local Monbulk Auskick is back with another interactive five-course dinner showcasing our talented and passionate local farmers and producers..
​
Local Flavours brings together our favourite people and produce into one night of fun, excitement and community. Glen's good friend and collaborator, the talented and extremely tolerant Therese curates a five-course menu of small plates (not too small!). Each course celebrates locally grown produce and uses only foods from within the Dandenong ranges and Yarra Valley with particular attention focussed on farmers who are ethical, sustainable and just plain nice people! With many of the farmers attending this is an opportunity for locals to share the local produce that is often hard to procure or not well known.
Producers we love to feature include, Little Yarra Dairy, a farm so small they know they know all of their cows by name! Also The Australian Rainbow Trout Farm where you can go and pull a trout straight out of the lake and cook it on the spot (you'll even find a convenient fridge full of VB! Heidy's Pastured Poultry grows their chicken in the Don Valley, they are raised on pasture, not only ensuring a quality li for usfe for their birds but also a great flavour for us.
At its heart, Local Flavours is our love letter to the place we call home, our chance to celebrate it and to share it with our friends and any unsuspecting "flat-lander" lucky enough to be invited along!
