Regional Flavours
returns
QUEENSLAND’S PREMIER FREE FOOD
AND WINE FESTIVAL IS BACK, BRINGING
PLENTY OF FOOD-FOCUSED FAMILY FUN
TO BRISBANE’S SOUTH BANK PARKLANDS
FROM JULY 20 THROUGH TO JULY 21.
Since launching eleven years ago, Regional Flavours has
become quite the Queensland icon. The largest free food and
wine festival in Australia, it’s a celebration of our vibrant food
culture and regional producers, artisans, graziers and chefs.
Brimming with cooking demonstrations led by celebrity chefs
and industry experts, pop-up food stalls, live music and free
kids activities, Regional Flavours 2019 makes for the perfect
family day out.
Innovation is a core focus at this year’s event, making it
the perfect opportunity to introduce your children to some
different or plant-based alternatives to their favourite foods.
For example, ‘camel culture’ will be in the spotlight with
stallholders Summer Land Camels and QCamels treating
attendees to nourishing camel-based milk, cheese and
yoghurts – said to provide support with some health issues
like diabetes and Crohn’s Disease. And, on the main stage,
plant-based nutritionist Ellie Bullen will deliver wholesome
cooking demonstrations that will get your kids excited about
healthy eating.
With delicious produce from 17 different regions to sample
from the 80 stallholders, your family is certainly spoilt for
choice. You can expect top quality, ready-to-eat food stalls
offering treats at various price points, served up by the very
people behind what’s on your plate. Chat to them about this
year’s other major theme, ‘sustainability,’ to learn how we can
all do our bit to reduce waste – including bringing our own
water bottles to Regional Flavours, as single-use plastic bottles
will not be available.
Nestled in the fruitful surrounds of Epicurious Garden, Kids
Collective will again return to Regional Flavours this year
with a lineup of free kids activities to keep your little foodies
entertained. OzHarvest will be launching a new children’s
book, Lenny and the Ants, which teaches kids all about food in
a fun and interactive way. Let them unleash their creative side
with a range of craft activities as well as being able to get their
hands dirty by planting a tomato. The activities are suitable for
kids aged 3-10 years old.
Not to mention, you’ll get to hear from the likes of Matt
Preston, George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan, Poh Ling
Yeow, Justine Scholfield and Brisbane’s own Georgia Barnes
when they present over the two-day event. Among the live
cooking displays and entertainment will be a world of gourmet
delights to discover, including regional wines and fresh
produce, truffles, preserves, chocolate, pastry and much more.

Award winning medical grade. Green vegetables have a very high nutrient content, in fact they have more

foods, greens are as nourishing as it gets. Their high level of nutrients coupled
with many potent, immune enhancing phyto (plant) chemicals, results in much-
needed virus protection at this time of year. So consuming greens in some
capacity, daily during winter, is a key factor in preventing colds and flu. Nature as
always provides.

07 5562 2813 • www.cryoperformance.com.au Getting your kids to enjoy leafy greens?
It took three years of serving up salads to my kids before they finally started
eating them. My son used to pick up the leaves, frown and say ‘I don’t like
flowers!’ (no matter how many times I corrected him that they were leaves, he
maintained they were in fact flowers!). So if greens are off the cards for your kids
there are a few things you can do to bring them around.
1. Keep eating them yourself – it is absolutely essential to always demonstrate
healthy eating.
2. Always offering them. Put the greens in a self-serve bowl and encourage them
to serve up some themselves (children love to participate in any way, they feel
independent this way). If they are too young for this then just place one or two
leaves onto their plate. As I said it took 3 years of doing this before either of my
children enjoyed eating greens, so don’t give up.
3. Get them involved preparing the greens. My son was won over by simply
washing and spinning the leaves in the salad spinner. This one simple task
turned him from a green hater to a green lover overnight (because he’d been
involved in ‘making’ the salad).
4. Get your kids to help grow them or at the very least, encourage them to help
you shop for them. Giving kids simple task in the supermarket greatly enhances
their relationship with food. For example; ask them to pick the best lettuce they
can find.
5. For older children I find marketing the benefits of eating greens works really
well. Don’t say ‘they are good for you’ as many children just don’t want a bar of
being ‘good’. For example; my son wants to be stronger and faster, so I drop little
hints that his favourite superhero relies on greens for his strength and speed.
For my daughter, I appeal to her vanity - ‘greens for longer, shinier hair and clear
skin’. Whatever appeals to your child. McDonalds market their food to kids very
well, so why can’t you? Don’t harp on, just little consistent reminders will do.
I hope I have encouraged you to consider eating your greens and how simply
they can be incorporated into winter meals. Try it this winter. I firmly believe that
greens play an integral role in avoiding the typical winter onslaught of illness.
