Food for Joy!

Join The Green Gourmet at RAW Bulk Wholefoods as part of the 2024 Fleurieu Food Festival, where we’ll create and enjoy a range of nourishingly delicious recipes to help you rediscover the natural connection between food, health and joy.   

Focusing on wholefood ingredients grown, made and distributed by local Fleurieu Peninsula and South Australian small businesses, we’ll explore new research about how fermented foods, veggies, legumes and wholegrains are intricately linked to our gut health, mood and overall wellbeing.  

You'll enjoy a flavour- and nutrient-packed afternoon tea featuring: 

 -A grazing board complete with fermented macadamia cheese, Little Tin Co. marinated sardines, quick pickled apples and fennel, and The Gathered Bowl crackers.  

-Bhel puri: Mumbai's favourite street food. This combination of Indian bits and bobs and Essentials by Dirt(y) chickpeas combined with Spice Chariot Tamarind Chutney, chillies and lime is bright, fresh and unexpected. It's fun to make and puts a smile on the face of everyone who tries it!  

-Masoub: Yemeni banana bread pudding starring BROT gluten-free sourdough bread, OMGhee, and indulgent almond cream.  

-Baked pumpkin & spice doughnuts with dark chocolate glaze featuring Peninsula Providore Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Fleurieu Milk Company Greek Yoghurt. These are the ultimate food for joy: everyone loves doughnuts and these beauties are simple, healthy, delicious and endlessly adaptable.  

-All complemented by award-winning, handcrafted Wildfire Organic teas.  

You’ll come away feeling informed, energised and empowered – with a stash of recipes and tips to help you shop, cook and eat in a way that embraces food as a source of joy.
