Slow Food South Australia

Here are some more photos from Slow Food South Australia committee member and executive chef at Down The Rabbit Hole Nick Tadija's cooking demonstration at the Willunga Farmers Market on the 5th April.

Nick’s demonstration of Charcoal Nomad Farms Chicken, deboned, with Salsa Verde and Lemon embraced the Slow Food ethos using ingredients from Willunga Farmers Market stallholders Nomad Farms chicken, Peninsula Providore olive oil and Herbivorous herbs.

It was terrific to have Enrico Sgarbossa on hand to assist Nick and hear both these Snail of Approval recipients speak about their dedicated involvement and passion for the #slowfoodmovement 🐌

Slow Food South Australia committee members Tania and Delphine ran the Slow Food SA information stand and captured photos and video. Thank you to Myriah and the crew from Willunga Farmers Market for our warm welcome, we loved catching up with familiar faces as well as lots of new people and producers. 🍋🌿

Slow Food South Australia

The historic Glen Ewin Estate in the Adelaide Hills set the scene for Slow Food South Australia's biennial Fignic with Willabrand Australia. Over 50 guests gathered for a long table lunch under the oaks, celebrating fig season with a Fig Gin Spritz welcome and a producer talk by Willa Wauchope, the passionate force behind Willabrand’s family business.

Willa shared insights into their sustainable, organic fig farm, which spans nearly 12,000 trees across five main varieties. He spoke about expanding exports to France and Canada and launching new products like Fig Amaro, while also addressing challenges like fruit fly restrictions, which currently limit fig picking to onsite consumption.

The lunch menu highlighted the versatility of figs, and the event had a warm celebration of conviviality and sense of community The spirit of our Slow Food Fignic was imbued with a shared commitment to supporting a local producer and preserving South Australia’s rich food heritage.

Many thanks to Delphine for the lovely photos, and Tania for the write-up (full report will be in our next newsletter).
