" Quantity is not equal to quality" Manu Fieldel.
RMIT Newintstudents was invited to take part in this and therefore did not have to pay.
This festival was a first for Melbourne. Held at Caulfield Racecourse this was a must for any foodies and bloggers alike. It was $28 to get in. With that there were some samples and some people got goody bags. There were also the Masterclasses. I guess some of that money went to paying for the rent and the masterclasses.
Here there were many samplings to be had. But there were also taste testers priced at $28 per course which only the select few had. Many people had the wine at the champagne bar. Food was priced somewhere between $10-$15 per plate and they also had teeny tiny portions.
We attended a few truffle sessions in the Scholls Theatre. Here there was one about where the truffle comes from and they are from the Funghi family. Australia has a lot of varieties of truffles growing.
The ever so gorgeous Truffle lover Sarah, show us how to make easy truffle butter, easy brie with truffle in the middle, poached eggs and pears with truffle. She said that truffle oil has no real truffle flavour. Its just there to help layer the butter and all.
At Manu Fieldel's session we were thoroughly entertained by his antics. He is a lovely and very charming French guy. He had a great many stories to tell. And I had one question for him after seeing so many reviewers dislike Le Grand Cirque on Urbanspoon. Manu gets really angry by the bad reviews posted online.
Outside there was a dog hunt for truffles going on and lots and lots of pats and love towards the dogs which by the way are Australian Shepherd dogs.
Many thanks to the Mushroom Lovers Club and Truffle Melbourne for inviting me. I had a lovely time and I hope to see you again next year.
