Local industries to be featured in upcoming episodes of Everyday Gourmet with Justine Schofield

Filming started among the almond trees of Mandolé Orchard, a sustainably operated almond orchard located just outside Griffith where Justine and Mandolé co founder Tom Stefanovic demonstrated the versatility of almonds by cooking a linguini dish with almond and tomato sugo with the picturesque almond orchard in the background.

"It was a pleasure to host Justine at our orchard to share this with her and to see our almonds come to life in her delicious cooking," Mr Stefanovic said.

Joseph Ebbage, Market Development Manager on the Almond Board of Australia said that the industry was very excited to have had the opportunity to work with Christine, and showcase the healthy versatility of Australian almonds.

"Our growers take enormous care to produce high quality almonds that can be enjoyed as a nutritious snack, or as a great tasting ingredient in sweet or savoury dishes," Mr Ebbage said.
