We’re calling all local producers, food professionals and home cooks to send in a recipe which uses locally produced, in-season produce. The top 12 recipes will be featured in a “Feast of Northern Valleys Flavours calendar for 2015 published by the Northern Valleys News.
If you are a primary producer – please share how you choose to enjoy your produce. You probably know how it’s best eaten! If you’re a professional chef, why not show us how the diverse flavours of our region could be put together in a new way? If you’re a home cook, share your favourite dish that makes the most of what’s available, whether you buy it from the farmers market, your neighbour, or grow it in your own garden!
The dishes will be judged on their originality, use of local produce, ease of preparation and of course taste!
Great Prizes!
The Shire of Chittering has a $100 Bindoon IGA voucher for their favourite ‘with a citrus twist’ recipe, Maggie Edmonds will give away a sumptuous Maggies Place goodies basket to her choice and the Northern Valleys News will offer a $50 Bindoon Butcher voucher for the best slow-cooker recipe!
Plus, the chosen ‘with a citrus twist’ recipe will be showcased at this year’s Taste of Chittering, to be held on 24 August 2014.
