JUST as Jorge Luis Borges wrote of the roots of language in his prologue to El otro, el mismo, so it is with the truffle: ‘irrational, and of a magical nature’. Slow Food Perth invites you to join us for all that is irrational and magical about the truffle – with good food, wine, local community and conviviality at its heart – at our Mundaring truffle festival down-the-road lunch in Sculpture Park, Mundaring, on Saturday 08 August 2009. The menu, prepared by Terra Madre chef-delegate Vincenzo Velletri, is still being plotted on a tabletop, yet we can hint that it will most likely celebrate the renowned hunter-of-truffle – the pig – with rice, capsicum, rucola and other seasonal, edible wonders. Wine will come from Hills vineyards, with its selection arranged by Maxinne and Anto Sclanders of Cosham Wines and Patrick Bertola of Lion Mill.

On Sunday 09 August we encourage you to visit the Slow Food Perth’s ‘good, clean and fair food’ marquee at the festival and explore our ‘brainfood’ tunnel of food memories, participate in blindfold food tastings, enjoy exceptional wood-fired pizza and wonderful coffee, and learn more about ‘small, slow food’.
