Menu Philosophy
feel good, whole good, made fresh
The event includes food with thought. In the menu, nature is the hero. It has been developed in collaboration with the restaurants Executive Chef, Gavin Robertson, and the leading nutritional experts at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. All ingredients used have been prepared in-house, by their dedicated chefs to make creative, restaurant-quality dishes that are vibrant in colour, bursting with flavour, as well as responsibly farmed, sustainably produced and ethically sourced. This menu’s focus on minimal intervention foods and conscious reduction of salts, sugars and preservations is set to transform the convention centre dining experience. To deliver on this commitment, salts have been reduced and replaced with rubs and spices, sugar-laden drinks swapped for house-made ice teas and fruit-infused waters, as well as engagement with local farmers and artisan producers. In designing Honest Goodness their team has worked to reduce the use of processed elements, replacing them with whole, fresh ingredients. Processed and manufactured fats and related substitutes have been replaced with natural animals and plant-based fats to create more balanced dishes. Ingredients with traditionally high sugar volume have been replaced with house-made chutneys, sauces and dressings with lower sugar levels, as well as utilising herbs and spices to reduce overall salt content. Honest Goodness also uses natural rubs and house-made marinades to enhance flavour, alongside their use of in-house smoked and roasted meats. Honest Goodness is about celebrating food that not only tastes good, but is good in every sense.
Green credentials
