How mouth watering does this salad look! Even through plastic or served on a kids dinosaur plate.... must be a hot day. Or just a delicious salad I suppose.

1 WEEK TO GO! Our second Local Flavours event is coming up fast! Get you tickets now at www.glencooksfood.com.au/events and use code "glencooksfood" for a discount!

Our last 2 events (Local Flavours 1, and the Italian Takeover) were huge successes - great food, great wine, great company, great vibe, and this time will be no different! The tables will again be adorned with edible plants to sample and smell during the evening, Alessia will transport you to Tuscany with her accent as she introduces where your food has come from, and this time we have the addition of live music!

And no evening is complete without a "party bag" to take home, so if this sounds like a great date night, or night out with friends, or even a solo person happy to meet some new friends, get tickets now!

Thanks to our local producers for growing and creating the ingredients we will all enjoy on the night:
Thriving Foods Farm
Petite Ingredient
Little Yarra Dairy
Little Yarra Free Range Eggs

Australian Rainbow Trout Farm Spurrell Foraging
Ramarro Farm
Payne's Rise Winery

Extremely Local Kang Kong at Local Flavours II!!
Featuring in two of our dishes at next weekend's dinner this is the prize gem of our closest local farmer who grows this SE Asian delicacy. Notoriously difficult to photograph properly, this super green is grown not 500m from your dinner table. It will feature in our main course alongside Lamb, Poached Rhubarb, and Fennel Puree.

Tickets still available www.glencooksfood.com.au/events

Local Flavours isn't just our favourite event, it's our most bestest favourite event. With support of over 30 local producers and five courses of (a little bit fancy) food we love the opportunity to gather all our friends and farmers in one big room and share their amazing work. With live music and each course introduced by Alessia with poetic grace and her Italian charm, we're sure it's going to be your bestest favourite event too.

Tickets available from our website - www.glencooksfood.com.au and follow the link on the "local flavours" page

Fresh seasonal veg from Thriving Foods Farm tomorrow at Monbulk Produce Market !!!! Tom's potatoes will also be there with a great selection of veg - so come do your grocery shopping at the market!

9-2 next to st George's church, main st monbulk.

Local legends have a range of native Australian herbs and spices available on their website. Here's what I did with them for the kids today..

1 kg pork mince (from Monbulk Family Butcher)
120g dried apple slices
2 free range eggs
A punch of salt bush
A pinch of natuvlie thyme
A pinch of native basil (sub these w mixed herbs)
Salt to taste
Puff pastry

Blitz ONE egg and the apple slices to fine in a blender. Then add this to the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Roll in puff pastry and brush with egg wash ((use other egg). Coat w sesame if desired and cut to shape (I make 5 sheets and cut them into six).
Bake at 190 fan forced for 15 - 18 mins (well spaced)

New environmentally friendly packaging and a risotto that looks healthier than anything you've ever eaten! It's just another day in the Glen Cooks Food kitchen.

12-8 Sunday - Hilltop Music Festival at Olinda Community House!

We are sorry to inform you of our decision to cancel this event due to dumb weather.
The recent storms have caused us to rethink our menu as some of the produce we had planned to use has been affected. In the end, we felt our commitment to giving our guests and suppliers the best possible event was not possible and we've made the sad decision to push this event back until November, a month famous for its sunny weather and great produce.

Please visit us at the Monbulk Produce Market 10th Birthday on Saturday the 14th 9-2 where we will be providing produce from many of our local farmers.

Thanks a Brunch!!
