A TASTE OF MELBOURNE
















On Saturday, I had a delicious adventure at the Melbourne wine and food festival taste. Some of the Australia’s best chefs and most of the worlds best food.

As soon as I walked into the hall I was all over the place the first thing that amazed me was the ice cream tiramisu, French vanilla, crème caramel, blood orange and black sesame .
I was attracted to all the great food, so many great tastes and great products I had to try them all and so begin my day as you can imagine my job was pretty hard eating food all day. I just can not
Fulfil something I love to do when it’s something you love to do you haft to for fill it and that’s what I’m planning to do




As we walked up to the exhibition building to get our media passes, I new it would be a great day meeting chef’s and eating food, I walked around taking my notes and taking pictures. There were so many different but great flavours strong and light flavours rich and mellow. Meeting 2 of the master chef judges Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris would have been the best part of the day besides eating all the food.

So let’s start with this journey:

Dello Mano(Brownies): Classic Chocolate Brownie: a classic favourite it was amazing tasted so fresh

Movenpick(Ice creams): Tiramasu strong but creamy and sweat all at the same time great flavours
White Chocolate creamy and sweat great mix of flavours
Crème Brulee absolutely
Amazing I have never tasted something so great

Tarago Olive Oil: Frantonio 2009: smooth and light at the same time but when it is eaten with bread it creates something all new

Kurrajong Kitchens: Rosemary and Sea Salt Lavosh just right amount of salt and rosemary go great with dip

That’s Amore: Blue heart it was an all new thing for me really creamy but really nice
Ricotta con truffle: really fresh and really nice

Yarra valley Dairy: Persian Fetta: smooth and creamy and delectable

The Cocoa Alliance: Ceylon a milky delectable chocolate divine

Barilla: Tortellini a great pasta I loved it

Hellenic Republic: lamb souvalaki it was an interesting but nice meal something really new for me
