Sarau Festival

The Mighty Blackcurrant Recipe Book has been compiled especially for the Sarau Festival by festival founder and long time blackcurrant grower Jenny Leith.

Recipes have come from renowned chefs, blackcurrant growers, and members of this community who willingly contributed their culinary expertise and made the 2008 Festival such a success by entering their blackcurrant cooking and preserving in the Blackcurrant Cooking Competitions .

The Mighty Blackcurrant Recipe Book contains a total of 45 recipes, some health and nutrition information (pdf version [4mb]) with lots of hints and ideas about using this healthy, flavoursome fruit. Recipes are indexed under: Baking; Meats; Deserts; and More Yummy Recipes.

The book will be launched at the Sarau Festival opening at 4pm and will be available at a special Festival price of $15.00 throughout the afternoon and evening. Help to support the blackcurrant industry, the community, and the festival by purchasing these – they will make fantastic gifts or a wonderful addition to your cookbook collection!
