Event Details

Presented by Slow Food Sydney and the Botanic Gardens, this is a bush tucker picnic prepared by Jean-Paul Bruneteau. Click here for a map of the brunch location.

Jean-Paul is a pioneering chef of Australian cuisine using native food ingredients, a gastronome and certified supertaster. Author of “Tukka, Real Australian Food”, he is the recipient of the International ACAP Julia Child Award and more recently the winner of the 2009 Gourmand Awards' “Best of the Best”. This recognises his work as the best culinary history book in the world over the last twelve years.

Learn about bush food and sustainability with Botanic Gardens Trust Aboriginal Education Officer, Clarence Stockee.

Discover the genesis of the Slow Food movement with a special guest appearance by international founder Carlo Petrini.

After lunch, take a self-guided tour of the Botanic Gardens' Aboriginal Walk which showcases native plants.

This is picnic, so please bring your favorite picnic rug as we want to create a patchwork of colour!
