Andrew the ‘Taste’ of Darwin

May 7, 2012 / ainsley / General News

The annual ‘Taste of Darwin‘ at Skycity Casino was held over the weekend (May5th and 6th), with hundreds turning up for the event to sample the array of tantalising flavours the region has to offer.

Andrew’s Tuckeroo tent was a standout amongst the crowd, with his native inspired range of products on display. Similar to the Tasting Australia event held in Adelaide the previous weekend, the Antipasto and Wild Dips platters were the winners of the weekend. Andrew noted it was a delight to see people, “enjoying the flavours”, which included Emu Pate – for the first time.

Whilst in Darwin, Andrew will be hosting cooking demonstrations each evening for the duration of the event at 7:15pm at the SkyCity Casino. So if you are in Darwin, get down and pick up some tips on how to get creative with the native!

Tuckeroo products are currently being sold online through the Andrew Fielke online store, however the Antipasto range will be released in Coles later in the year. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive logo in your local store soon.
