The Art of Native Food
The Australian Native Food Industy (ANFIL) is delighted to present a new event; The Art of Native Food, to be held at the Atrium in Federation Square, Melbourne from Friday March 2 until Sunday March 11 2012 as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
The event will showcase the amazing native produce that we can grow, value add and market in Australia and will be complemented by an art exhibition that will feature 12 of the most popular native plant foods in a botanical art style along with a variety of native food representations in indigenous art. The contrast in artistic styles aims to draw attention to the public of Australian native produce and its potential not only as a gourmet food product but for in everyday cooking.
In conjunction with the art exhibition, that will essentially act as a backdrop to the native
food demonstrations and tastings of products that include native Australian flavours. The participating public will have the opportunity to learn about the growing range of products that now feature Australian native foods, how many Australian native flavours can be used in flavouring everyday dishes.
