As part of the Sunshine Coast culinary tourism group, Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd (SCDL) will launch its new Official Food Guide and be represented by local foodie and New Zealand expat, Martin Duncan. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Martin, who runs Freestyle Escape Cooking School in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, said he was excited to showcase Sunshine Coast food to more than 35,000 New Zealanders.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people and introduce Kiwi’s to the Sunshine Coast as a fabulous location for a short break away,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe Official Food Guide will tempt their tastebuds with information about local producers, cooking schools, food attractions, markets, tours, festivals and award-winning restaurants – as well as tips on eating like a local.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI’m looking forward to introducing consumers to new food experiences unique to the Sunshine Coast such as the whole paddock to plate experience, growing things and connecting with passionate local producers.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
