Chef Ben Ing – Truffles Unearthed 2021

presented by WA Good Food Guide and Volvo Cars Perth in association with Genuinely Southern Forrests and Get Fresh Merchants 

It takes a special kind of chef to cook at Noma. But rising to the rank of head chef of the world’s most influential restaurant at 30, running pop-ups in Sydney and Mexico, and helping oversee its relaunch in Copenhagen? That takes something next level. Now, after moving to the South West, Ben Ing is bringing his talent to the people as the WA Good Food Guide presents his first-ever public dinner, with a menu drawn from his wealth of experience, and focused squarely on local produce. 

Join us on Saturday July 24 for Ing’s 7-course menu, starting with a flurry of snacks – think Abrolhos Island scallops grilled over charcoal with beach plants or line-caught fish cured in truffle miso – moving to dishes that make stars of seasonal leaves, shoots and roots or grilled marron flavoured with bush tomato and truffle. Main course consists of pepperberry-scented dry-aged beef grilled slowly over coals served with wild beach herbs and plates of local vegetables given the Ing touch, while dessert incorporates flavours of chestnut, truffles and whisky. 

Each course is paired with wines chosen by our very own wine judge and powerhouse Erin Larkin, who brings her breadth of knowledge to bear on an all-WA list showcasing legacy wines and some of the state’s most exciting young producers. An non-alcoholic pairing is also available. 

Tickets are strictly limited, don’t miss your chance to experience this unique one-off event.
