12 Days of Taste Capricorn Coast
07 December 2022 / Agriculture / Food Facts
December is finally here, and the end of year festivities are in full swing!
As the countdown to Christmas begins, and food becomes high on the agenda for parties, gatherings, and celebrations, we have ditched the partridge and gone straight for the pears (or pineapples in this case), fillings your social feeds with delicious local recipes, suggestions, and gift ideas from Taste Capricorn Coast.
Keen to not only have you looking like the King or Queen of the kitchen this Christmas, but we also want you to feel confident in throwing around the ‘home-grown’ plug where you can, supporting your ‘chef de cuisine’ ranking among family and friends!
No strangers to bucking the trend as proud members of the ‘lucky country’, we have decided to utilise the age-old traditional tune ’12 Days of Christmas’ as we count down to Christmas Day (the Aussie way…).
Sharing recipes, giveaways, market days and more, we invite you to follow the flavours of the Capricorn Coast as we spread some indulgent and tasty joy…
