July 20, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual Courier-Mail Regional Flavours festival shone a spotlight on the best of the South Burnett in Brisbane at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The two-day event at South Bank is billed as Australia’s largest free food festival, attracting more than 40,000 visitors each day.<\/p>\n

It divided Queensland into different food regions, with a whole area devoted to the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Celebrity chef Cameron Matthews, from Montville\u2019s The Long Apron, went on stage on Saturday morning “Serving Up The South Burnett”, only using South Burnett produce.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett’s own Jason Ford also went on stage at the Courier Mail Piazza with well-known chefs Miguel Maestre and Kate Gibbs to talk about bunya nuts.<\/p>\n

“It was pretty cool, but I was freaking out a little as I really needed to get back to the stall to make wraps as it was peak lunchtime,” Jason said.<\/p>\n

The ‘South Burnett Wraps’ (see recipe, below) were a highlight in the South Burnett section.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The criteria for the recipe was to create something that festival goers could purchase and eat with one hand as they walk around the event, and captured a snapshot of the South Burnett’s best produce,” Jason said.<\/p>\n

“I made 600 and they were a massive hit.<\/p>\n

“Everyone at South Bank was talking about them. It was hard to keep up with demand. In fact all the South Burnett stalls were a huge success on the weekend.”<\/p>\n

South Burnett producers taking part in Regional Flavours included Clovely Estate, Crane Wines, Fat Hen Farm, Kingaroy Cheese, Kingsley Grove Estate, Taste South Burnett and The Peanut Van.<\/p>\n
