The Canberra and Capital Region Truffle Festival...
The 2013 Canberra and Capital Region Truffle Festival is underway and, with 40 participating venues, the event is the biggest ever held. Some of Canberra's top restaurants are on board with dining experiences offering themed truffle degustations and truffle menus, truffle master classes, talks and cooking demonstrations.
There are truffle hunts across the region's truffières and you can buy truffles direct from the grower afterwards. Truffles can be purchased fresh from producers at stalls at the Capital Region Farmer's Market. The Fyshwick Markets are also offering truffles and truffled products for purchase. There are free truffle demonstrations at Fyshwick Markets every Sunday throughout the festival from 10.30-11.30; and 3Seeds is offering cooking classes for adults and children. The Belconnen Markets are also offering customers the opportunity to buy truffles this year. For more information about the Truffle Festival, visit the web site. There's loads of information about truffles, as well as recipes, videos, Festival events; and also information to help you with planning your trip to the region. So, come on folks... visit Canberra!
