Six food events worth travelling for in July and beyond
From winter-warming food festivals and pop-up events to the latest in cruise dining, here's all the events travellers will want to savour around the country and further afield. Former White House chef turns to cruise ships As Ponant's Le Commandant Charcot cruises the icy Baltic Sea in the midst of an Arctic winter next January, retired White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford, along with other esteemed figures in the world of haute cuisine, to give passengers a taste of diplomatic history. They'll be offering dishes once served to heads of state at official dinners, as well as giving first-hand accounts of what goes on behind the scenes at presidential residences, including the White House and France's Elysee Palace. It's all part of a partnership with The Club des Chef des Chefs, considered one of the world's most elite gastronomic societies. See Orange Region Fire Festival's new foodie chapter Fire Festival returns this August, with an expanded program and several festival-first fire-powered food, wine and cider events. Kicking off with Millthorpe Fire Fair on August 1, don't miss out on popular and new collaborations including the annual medieval-inspired Winter Wassail at Small Acres Cider (August 2), the slow-roasted pork Ember Feast at the Orchard held at Hillside Harvest (August 3), and the Food over Fire by Nashdale Lane Wines x Union Bank dinner (August 9). See Ballarat's epic pie pilgrimage taps best-selling cookbook author Victoria's Central Highlands once again transforms into a pie utopia this August as the city's top venues battle for the title of Ballarat's Best Pie. Hear the winners at the pie awards on August 2, this year hosted by Melbourne-based cook, author and presenter Julia Busuttil Nishimura at Itinerant Spirits (2024's winning venue). This year's 36 entries both nostalgic and daring new creations (fancy a Filipino-inspired lechon paksiw pie?). You can plot your own pie trail at the Visit Ballarat website. See
