What a wonderful day that Jamie, Tay and Wendy organised and without a
doubt it encapsulated all that slow food is about. Local produce, low food
miles, showcasing and bringing together producers, artisans, chefs and food
biodiversity.
An amazing achievement that is a milestone event for Slow Food
BRISBANE. Simply fantastic.
Jamie’s organisation of every aspect of the day from the Luvaberry farm
experience to the displays of local produce and the accessabilty of the
producers was seamless. Arriving at Mount Mee Community Hall, 1352 Mount Mee Road, Mount Mee was a magical
scenic experience as it was a crisp crystal clear day and the hall was so
welcoming, filled with local produce and producers and this, coupled with the
wafting delicious food smells from the bar-b-que below foreshadowed the superb
feast that was to follow.
For chef Tay, words fail to adequately convey her gastronomic achievement. The photos tell some of the food story but believe me the tastes surpassed the visuals as they were all delicious, succulent and simply sumptuous. It is hard to imagine that Tay achieved this lunch menu on what has to be called rustic equipment!!! What a 5 star chef.

Wendy co-ordinated and oversaw all aspects of the event “on the ground”
and was as usual a terrific advocate for Slow Food, articulating principles of
low mileage local foods and her slow food self was essential for and at the
heart of the wild and slow event!
All who work in the background make these events possible. Thank you especially
to Deb and Gav were such incredible workers. Thank you to all Dawn and Gerry
Brady for selecting the wines and to all committee who assisted and
