This weekend is a big one for Australian members of Slowfood. Its founder, Carlo Petrini will be in Sydney, attending several dinners and functions, both for members and for the general public, including speaking in the Opera House on Sunday.

We are going to birdcowfish restaurant tonight for a Slowfood dinner, with food being prepared by four Terra Madre chefs. One Terra Madre producer will provide his heritage pork for the dinner.

Then, on Sunday morning we will go to a Bush Tucker picnic, prepared by Jean-Paul Brunetau, Bush tucker pioneer in Australia. Following the picnic we will make our way to the Sydney Opera House to hear Carlo Petrini.

A report with photos will follow.
