TV Guide The Valley might be looking green, but the drought is far from over, and our local farmers still need our support, so the Scone Literary Festival organisers have planned a very special event to help out our drought- affected community. Sunday November 11 will feature a Bush Poets Breakfast with all proceeds raised going to the local drought appeal. The BBQ will be cooked by Upper Hunter Shire Council Mayor Cr. Wayne Bedggood assisted by a bunch of local volunteers. The entertainment and focus of the Breakfast will be four, acclaimed local bush poets who have been performing very successfully up and down the Valley for many years. Known as the ‘Awesome Foursome of Bush Poetry’ the group comprises of Tim McLoughlin, Sally Mitchell, Tom Parry and Greg Scott. Continued page 2. Image right: Tim McLoughlin.

    MEDIA RELEASE 13 July 2015 THE ORIGINAL ROCKSTAR CHEF TO HEADLINE THIS YEAR’S MARGARET RIVER GOURMET ESCAPE FESTIVAL Margaret River Gourmet Escape presented by Audi 2015 is set to be bigger than ever before, with the announcement of international headline chef, the ‘Godfather of modern cooking’, Marco PiErrE WhitE. Marco will take part in the three-day culinary extravaganza, with a full program of events hosted by over 40 of the world’s leading food and wine personalities and showcasing the best of WA and the Margaret River Wine region. Tickets go on sale at midday on Tuesday 28th July (AWST). Marco has built an empire of London restaurants and was the youngest chef to win three Michelin stars and this year celebrates the 25th anniversary of his cookbook, White Heat, “the coolest cookbook ever written”. Known for his fiery nature, the famed British chef, author and restaurateur who mentored the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Mario Batali will engage with Margaret River Gourmet Escape’s audience and showcase quintessential produce and wine from the South West. One of the most anticipated events across the three-day festival will see Marco host a Q&A over dinner at the exquisite Vasse Felix winery with his alumni Jock Zonfrillo, Richard Turner and Patrick Spencer. These great chefs will re- create signature dishes that the then young chefs had to produce under Michelin starred pressure from the kitchens of Marco Pierre White’s eponoymous restaurants. “Eating is one of the most important aspects of living. I like indulging. I like to eat one food at a time, to savour each individual thing,” says Marco.
