Sweet side to food, wine extravaganza

09 Feb, 2012 07:16 AM
IMAGINE a warm, mouth-watering chocolate fudge brownie, covered in irresistible chocolate ganache with cream and fresh raspberries.

If your sweet-tooth craving hasn't started yet, wait until you get to Festivale.

Brownie Point: Tasmanian Gourmet Brownies, will be one of about 70 food, wine and beer stalls at this weekend's food and wine extravaganza at Launceston's City Park.

And owner Edna Lyons has promised chocoholics the hand-made goodies will definitely fill people's brownie cravings.

''They're delicious,'' she said.

''And all our products are gluten free.''

This is the second year the Launceston-based company has participated in the annual event and its employees are ready to have some more fun.

''It was a lot of fun last year and you get exposed to a lot of people that you wouldn't normally see,'' Brownie cook Lorraine Green said.

''We present them (the brownies) different down there too, compared with how we normally would.

''Here, we sell them how you would normally have them with a cup of coffee, but there, we sell them warmed up and with cream.''

There will be two choices on the brownie menu this weekend: White chocolate and raspberry blondies, and chocolate fudge walnut brownies.

Mrs Lyons said 35 slabs with 32 brownies in each had already been made for the three-day event.
