Food festival gathers momentum

The 12th Tastes of Central Geelong next month will feature two celebrity chefs and authors, who are set to share their culinary tips and secrets with local foodies.

Award winning chef and host of Good Chef Bad Chef Adrian Richardson will hold an exquisite Afternoon Tea at The Pier, while chef, farmer-food activist and host of Gourmet Farmer Matthew Evans will host an in-depth Q&A session at The Geelong Library & Heritage Centre.

“Our celebrity chefs Adrian Richardson and Matthew Evans will bring a wealth of knowledge to our region about delicious home cooking, growing your own food and where produce comes from,” City of Greater Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said.

“We guarantee that there will be something for every palette and you won’t have to go far to taste a special new dish, learn a kitchen trick, find a hidden gem and connect with fellow foodies.”

The event will feature demonstrations, masterclasses, special offers, goody-bags and more from Thursday March 23 to Sunday April 2.

Highlights this year include Geelong’s Bake Off, beer festival Hop-A-Long Geelong, Cannoli Piping Workshop with Cakes and Vases, live painting sites Pinot & Picasso, Urban Cocktail Trail and Geelong Waterfront Makers & Growers Market – Tastes Edition.

Westend Geelong and La Cachette will guide attendees through a premium paired wine and food meal, as well as a wine fair featuring small artisan producers and importers.
