November 11 Greenpeace GM Wheat Debate

For our last event at the Crave Sydney Food Festival we were asked to cater for Green peace. I did four items, all organic. The night consisted of a discussion on Genetically modified wheat with speakers including Michael from Brasserie Bread and Peter Gilmore (my old boss) from Quay. It was eye opening and I think there should be laws about the growing of GM wheat, especially compulsory labeling of GM products.

Anyway I thought since it was a night dedicated to science and real food it would be interesting to confront people with a cocktail in a test tube that was actually made from organic ingredients.  It was a variation of the Tomislav test tube: Violet granita with wheat beer. It was actually delicious but maybe a little too confronting! Many guests just could not even contemplate bringing a test tube (evil!) to their mouths no matter how good it tastes. We also did a greek pastry of stinging nettles and parmesan. Read more about the GM wheat debate…
