A taste of South Australia
There’s a world of flavours to delight foodies of all ages, all in one place in Rundle Mall.
Get a free taste of South Australia in Rundle Mall this April, with the return of last year’s successful Urban Pantry and Cellar Door and the I Choose SA Grazing Trail, as part of Tasting Australia. A free kids cooking program, called Taste Buds, is a new addition to the 2018 Tasting Australia program in Rundle Mall.
TASTE BUDS
Kids can discover their inner foodie with Taste Buds – a FREE program designed exclusively for 7-12 year olds – to engage them in food, nutrition, food provenance and preparation. Develop young palates with this fun hands-on and sensory approach to food right in the heart of Rundle Mall. Sessions will be led by food celebrities, chefs, producers, artists and gardeners who champion fresh, seasonal, local produce.
The Taste Buds program includes three sessions:
FOOD FACTS: Do you know where your food comes from? Taste Buds celebrity presenter/chef will lead kids through a food fact journey teaching them about the origins of food. Kids will work with the presenter to create a delicious nutritious recipe to munch on.
PLANT A SALAD: Come and join ABC’s Gardening Australia presenter, Sophie Thomson, and The Garden Guru’s presenter, Kim Syrus, to learn how to grow your supper. Kids will learn great gardening tips along with identifying, planting and harvesting from the Taste Buds culinary garden.
FOOD ART: Kids are guided, step-by-step, to create artwork involving food by local artist Kirsty Shadiac from Art Venture. Participants will learn how to draw food images and then take home their masterpiece to show off to their family. Taste Buds is a FREE event, at Stephens Place in Rundle Mall from April 13-22. Sessions run hourly between 11am – 4pm.
