Week 11

Group Meeting Tuesday

October 13

Today we had another group meeting, held on a deck nestled next to the pacific ocean. It was a beautiful location, and kept all of us relaxed and calm. Today we finalized what recipe's still needed to be found, and cooked. We planed the final template for the recipe book. We also planned the artworks that are to be submitted for the end of year SOCA exhibition. The meeting went for an hour or so. It was a productive meeting that has helped us get back on track with our project.

Week 9 The food stall and the Big Presentation

The Food Stall
At long last we are going to have our food stall, Katja asked us if we could do something as there would be lots of people around from our creative exchange presenting to an industry panel and there was a one hour lunch break. We decided that this would be a great opportunity to showcase what Nonna's Kitchen was all about and maybe make a few dollars to help pay for the costs that were now starting to add up.

The Menu
Roma tomato and basil bruschetta $2 each
BBQ Honey soy chicken wings with sour cream and chives 3 for $2
Greek dips with pitta bread - Guacamole and Tatziki $2 each

We sold out in 30mins and it was great to watch everyone sitting down to eat like one big family all enjoying the great tasting food with no spare seats and lots of good conversation and happy satisfied students and lecturers.

The Presentation
We were to present to an industry panel of creative industries professionals
from Townsville, Melbourne and Germany and they included Michelle Fillery, Laneway Productions, Ingo Petzke, Red Avocado Film, Leanne Tattersall, Novellus Graphic Design and Katrina Youngman, Mojito Solutions.

Our presentation was well received and we improved on our previous effort by including Italian music, lots of great pictures of Nonna's, salami's and Italian and Greek food. We even had a selection of Greek dips for the panel to nibble on while we pitched our concept and work done so far. It was a great to interact with experts in the creative industry and get real world feedback about our project and possible opportunities to we had not even thought of yet.
