2012 Chefs Long Table Lunch

Chefs Long Table Lunch founding member Leonie Kershaw cooking up one of the culinary delights with celebrity chef Don Hancey.

The 2012 Chefs Long Table Lunch is fast approaching.

Make sure you don’t miss this outstanding local event on Sunday 26 February.

On arrival you and your friends will enjoy King Island Dairy cheese plates, truffle infused chicken and prosciutto paté with marinated Fremantle octopus and Fremantle sardines with West Australian olives.

The giant undercover marquee will come alive with delicious food demonstrations and a unique opportunity to meet a number of our celebrated chefs and sample their wares.

Succulent freshly shucked Albany rock oysters and prawn cutlets wrapped in the delicately flavoured Casalingo Salami, olive tapenade and Manjimup Black Truffle Oil will be a few of the delicious food samples available to enjoy.

Impressive local wines will flow freely along with a large range of great tasting beers and a selection of non alcoholic drinks.

An eight course banquet of magnificent fine food will then adorn the famous chefs long tables and will include Linley Valley pork, Amelia Park lamb, Panko crumbed sand whiting fillets and cold infused thinly sliced beef on a crisp salad.

While dessert is still under wraps we can reveal that a fine piece of Nina’s jewellery is up for grabs in our ‘Hidden Jewel’ dessert competition. Last year’s winner took home a pair of stunning black pearl earrings!

So who is behind this outstanding food and wine extravaganza? Celebrity chef Don Hancey and South West chef Tania Kershaw will lead a team of outstanding chefs including Ian Spear from Bunbury’s popular Nicola’s Restaurant, executive chef St Aidan’s Winery Julie Lawrence, Parade Hotel chef Allan Sommer, Shane Spooner head chef from the Lighthouse Beach Resort, Matthew Leahy, executive chef from the award winning Mantra Hotel Bunbury, world famous pizza maker Joe Haydar, Brad Gaffney from Nestlé Australia, Bunbury’s Vat 2 chef Dave Allen, famous oyster shucker Jerry Fraser, outstanding WA chef Chris Cheong and Michael Bell from the award winning South West Institute of Technology.

To complement this outstanding list of top WA chefs and their carefully prepared banquet menu, you’ll also enjoy the famous Chefs Long Table Lunch auctions and great dance music by local band SWAY.
