European Night Market
Be amazed as Madame Brussels Lane is transformed into a wintry European Night Market. Take in the various aromas of mulled wine, German sausages and freshly baked pretzels as you spy flames coming from the flaming crème brulee cart. Adventurous eaters can sample Polish dumplings from Eastern Bloc or Flammkuchen from Frieda’s Flammkuchen.
Truffle Toastie Competition
Madame Truffle is back again! Chefs from some of Melbourne’s most-loved cafes go head to head to create the ultimate truffle toastie. There’s Kettle Black, St. Ali, Auction Rooms, Stagger Lee’s, Chez Dre and The Premises. How do we even decide who to cheer for? I guess we’ll just have to taste test them all!
Truffle Masterclass
This is for the die-hard truffle lovers! It’s a whole day of tasting, discovering and working with these gorgeous and exotic mushrooms. You’ll learn how to make some delish truffle cheese and salami as well as indulge in a scrumptious truffle lunch crafted by the team at Craft & Co. Think pine mushroom and truffle croquettes and chestnut and ricotta fritters with truffle honey. Omg. Get in my belly!
