Tasting Australia has announced an all-star culinary line-up today as plans ramp up for the international food and wine festival to be held from 29 April–6 May 2010.
Among first time international visitors are cookery teacher Rosemary Shrager, presenter of British Television’s hit series Ladette to Lady and Rosemary Shrager’s School for Cooks, chef Antony Worrall Thompson of Ready Steady Cook fame, and actor Neil Morrissey, who starred in the UK sitcom Men Behaving Badly, and can now be seen on TV with food and beer aficionado Richard Fox in their series, Risky Business. Fox has been a previous visitor to Tasting Australia and will be creating food and beer magic with Morrissey at Tasting Australia 2010.
Another previous and highly popular star coming to Tasting Australia is the legendary Antonio Carluccio, who will be making his third visit to the event when he comes to South Australia next year.
The international names will be joined by many of Australia’s top chefs, writers and TV presenters including Joanna Savill, Maeve O’Meara, Shannon Bennett, Ben O’Donoghue, Peter Evans, Anna Gare, Stephanie Alexander, Lyndey Milan, and Simon Bryant.
Ian Parmenter, Tasting Australia’s Festival Director, said that the 2010 event is prepped, primed and ready to burst with a whole new set of flavours when the event launches in Adelaide. “Tasting Australia offers anyone who simply loves good food and wine the opportunity to enjoy the very best in South Australia while mixing with some of the world’s culinary icons,” said Parmenter.
