There is no doubt that Melbourne is the culinary capital of Australia, even if we do say so ourselves, the rich and diverse flavours that are available to us derived from every nook and cranny across the globe is only matched by the quality and freshness of our produce.

The Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is now in its 18th year and unveils the best foodie experience in a fortnight long program. With over 250 events spread across Melbourne bringing international guests and events and activities to savour, there is something for everyone to feast on.

We are extremely proud to bring our readers an exclusive interview with
Jamie Oliver, one of very few granted and as you may have noticed on our
cover, 3008 is thrilled to have been one of a select few to feature Jamie on our cover. Don’t miss Jamie’s show, it’s only on over two nights at Hisense Arena and it promises to be a fabulous night’s entertainment with plenty of surprises planned to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.

March is all about good food, great wine and enjoying the best that Melbourne has to offer, so try a new restaurant, attend some events and explore the laneways, rooftops and flavours of Melbourne.
