Issue 1 ~ Mar - Apr 1997 ProductsCouldn't get a photo in time for this issue but in May's edition we'll feature a fascinating product from Nick's Wine Merchants in Melbourne - what will they do to witjuti grubs next? A regular round-up of old, new, home made, high-tech or simply interesting bushfood products...Basically Wild Edible Art was founded by Hugh Langstaff and Sabine Wienand - restaurateurs and bushfood lovers from way back. Together, they have developed a gourmet range of products that reflect the enormous range of indigenous flavours. They have introduced culinary bushfood delights to Maleny through the UpFront Club (a licenced restaurant) and their gourmet delicatessen items, which combine fresh local produce with a range of exciting and unusual bush aromas ranging from Bush BBQ Sauce to Rainforest Berries Poached in Rose Wine & Vinegar. They divide their time between this busy kitchen, being directors of the Queensland Bushfood Cooperative and a whole array of activities around bushfoods such as tours, catering, cooking classes, etc Mail order catalogue and tour information via: Fax : 07 5494 4060 Or: 182 Witta Rd Maleny Qld 4552 Toona Essential OilsThe Sun Dried Tomato Factory particularly caught my eye as I've been experimenting (with little success) with a home made sun-drying contraption.
