Tasting Australia – Perfect Your Pasta

First take your Magimix...Mini Masterchef

Tasting Australia is coming up (26 April – 3 May) and there are a range of events on. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Kids in the Kitchen comprises 4 events across 2 days for children aged 8 – 12 (my own mini masterchef is a bit small …). They’re hands on cooking sessions with celebrity chefs. For the more competitive minded, there’s also the San Remo Junior Pasta Challenge where three finalists will cook a pasta dish from a mystery box of ingredients, with the first prize winner taking home $500 as well as a pile of San Remo goodies. Entry details are here and you need to make sure your entry is submitted by 2 April.

For those of us who are slightly older, there’s also some L-Plates sessions, giving you the opportunity to learn from the masters in classes of about 15. The sessions cover everything from bread making and brewing through to pasta (with Adelaide’s own Adam Swanson), olive oil and boning meats. Check out the program because there’s sure to be something of interest.

Hopefully we’ll get a chance to take a look at some other Tasting Australia events in the run up to the end of April.

Win an Ice Cream Maker

 

 

Sunday 4 March 2012

There’s only a few hours left to win an icecream maker over at Delicieux.

It ends at 3:30pm today (Adelaide time) so you need to get your skates on! There are multiple ways to enter (it’s quite mind boggling) so you’ve got more than one chance …

Good luck!

Coopers Turns 150

 

 

27 February 2012

2012 sees South Australia’s Coopers Brewery is celebrate 150 years of brewing! Not only is Coopers South Australian but it is also Australia’s largest Australian owned brewery and the company is also the largest manufacturer of home brew kits in the world.

There will events across Australia to celebrate this milestone birthday – including the release of a special beer. Details of the beer are, so far, secret but, like most of Coopers’ beers it will be a top fermented, bottle conditioned ale.

Celebrations will kick off in May – the month in which, in 1862, Thomas Cooper released his first commercial brew.
