The humble avocado is the star of the show for the Talisman Hotel and Restaurant in-house avocado challenge.
Five dishes by five chefs will showcase Katikati’s prized fruit at the local restaurant — they are ramping up our town’s status as avocado capital with a series of avocado-inspired desserts and entrees.
“We want to have a bit of fun,” says Talisman owner Michele Reichmuth. “We’d like to help out the local growers as they’ve had a hard couple of seasons and to create some chatter in the town. Let’s get some excitement going... and get people coming to our town.”
The competition starts December 5 and runs for five weeks. Each week a new dish is available — dessert one week, entree the next and so on.
Guests can vote for their favourite and be in the draw to win a $100 Talisman voucher.
