MORE than 160 people packed out the second annual Curated Plate Long Lunch at Yanalla Farms on Saturday afternoon, with guests enjoying an incredible feast thanks to our local producers and the talented Penfolds Catering crew.
Hosted by the irrepressible Sunshine Coast Foodie, Martin Duncan, the lunch featured dishes from local producers including (but there are too many to list), Yanalla, Coochin Hills Organics, Sunshine & Sons, Breath Easy Farm, Hive Haven, Pims Organics, Green Valley Finger Limes, QCamel and Barry Family Butchers.
The delectable four-course menu paid tribute to our producers with finger foods, feasting mains and desserts.
While all the dishes were winners, it was hard to go past the Pulled Peachester Fresh lamb shoulder, strozzapretti pasta, Glasshouse herb and Mountain Produce macadamia pesto, lamb reduction, Penfolds peach relish. A melt in your mouth dish!
Producers were all given the opportunity to pitch their businesses to guests, while an impromptu happy birthday was welcomed by the editor!
The weather stayed clear for what is surely a highlight on the Curated Plate calendar.
