Group Food & Beverage Director Scott Robertson said the development of the degustation menu fostered some healthy culinary competition amongst the Peppers chefs from all participating properties.
“We challenged a selection of our Peppers chefs to create a dish that would incorporate regional produce with outstanding wines and complement other courses within the degustation menu,” he said.
“The five courses selected for the “A Taste of Peppers” menu will be the first of a series of degustation menus to be rolled out with future menus incorporating input from our Peppers chefs in Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand.”
Peppers retreats, resorts and hotels are located in 26 destinations across Australia. Many are situated near award winning wine regions and gourmet food precincts ensuring the finest produce is served at a Peppers table.
