Now that the cold weather has really hit us it's time to think about all those lovely long slow recipes you love to do in Winter. And what better place to get inspiration than at the Good Food & Wine Show or from our extensive recipes on our website. It's a busy time of year for us at Creative Gourmet - lots of food shows and heaps of baking to keep us busy. Hope you're managing to keep warm!

Creative Gourmet is excited to be at the 2011 Melbourne, Sydney and Perth Good Food & Wine Shows! We had a great time serving up delicious smoothie cube smoothies to visitors at the Melbourne Show from June 3rd to June 5th.

As well as many compliments on the great taste of smoothie cubes, we were asked a few times about how else the cubes could be used. As we told visitors on the day smoothie cubes can be enjoyed, not only with regular milk, but also with juice, soy and rice milk. For more information about the refreshing and healthy smoothie cube range, check out our website.

If you’ll be in either Perth or Sydney in the next few weeks and would like to visit our spectacular smoothie cube stand, be sure to check the Creative Gourmet Facebook page as over the next few weeks we’ll be giving away complimentary passes!
