Produce to Platter

 
Order your copy now  

Mornington Peninsula, Produce to Platter celebrates regional food and wine in this micro-region of Australia. The book gets behind the scenes to meet the locals who give an insight into the Mornington Peninsula philosophy.  What resonates amongst vignerons and chefs alike is that "we allow the terroir to speak for itself".If this terroir could speak for itself it would tell stories of the nomadic aboriginal tribe, the Boonwurrung people, who have hunted and gathered in this region for over 40,000 years.  It would speak of rocky outcrops dating back 440 million years and volcano activity that has produced the unique growing fields of today.

This fascinating back-drop has created a terroir that provides some of our best wine - particularly respected for its pinot noir and chardonnay.
