Tourism Australia recently hosted an exclusive Australian Native Ingredients Masterclass in India with 2018 Australian MasterChef winner, Sashi Cheliah.

Participants included Traveller Made advisors, Premier Aussie Specialist agents and a select group of Indian food influencers and bloggers.

An experience box featuring a selection of 14 Australian Native spices and fruit powders curated by Foodie Trails was sent to participants to inspire them on their culinary journey.

Rob Hyatt of Koorie Heritage Trust shared insights on Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and spoke passionately about the diversity of unique experiences across the country.

As food is an intrinsic component of our everyday lives, this was a great opportunity to leverage our unique Indigenous Australian ingredients to differentiate Australia from other destinations.
