stakes Day at Flemington (Feb 18), crowd numbers at the two-day carnival soared from a usual 13,000 to more than 22,000. Now rumours are spreading thick and fast that australia’s modern day Phar lap will

is, it will be bigger than Ben hur! Watch this space.

nyone who’s ever dined in a marquee on adelaide casino adelaide cup Day will have fond memories of the delicious food and flowing beverages. But have you ever

considered what happens behind the scenes to ensure thousands of hungry racegoers can dine in style? We spoke with the south australian Jockey club’s executive chef Pepe Reyes to learn what’s involved in bringing together saJc’s day of days.

What are you serving at this year’s Adelaide Casino Adelaide Cup?

We are serving a five course menu on adelaide cup Day plus an assortment of dishes for the cocktail and buffet menus.

This year we’re serving mainly chicken, seafood and beef dishes with lots of seasonal fruits and vegetables incorporated into sides, accompaniments and desserts.

The cocktail and buffet menus include plenty of seafood including king prawns, oysters and smoked salmon, as well as a variety of antipasto and meats, local cheeses, artisan breads, fresh pastries and more.

What does Adelaide Cup day entail for you and your kitchen staff?

adelaide cup Day and Melbourne cup Day are our two biggest days of the year in the kitchen. For the adelaide cup food preparation generally starts a full week before.

on the day we have around 110 staff working in the kitchen so it’s a really big job to organise it. The day before we come in to make sure everything is ready and then on cup Day the first brigade arrives at 4am. By 10am the whole team is here. everything is cooked fresh on the day. and then we have to clean up!

So you’re usually in need of a holiday after the Adelaide Cup?

i can’t take a holiday yet! We have a lot of big events coming up through autumn so i’m saving my holidays for June!

You cook to set menus at work, but what do you like to make at home?

anything i can find in the fridge! But i always use fresh, local produce – anything from the market like spinach, mushrooms, broccolini. When it comes to spices i stick to cumin, pepper and salt. That’s it. i don’t believe in messing around with food.

What are your favourite Autumn ingredients?

We are so lucky in this country with seafood, and i’m spanish so i love my seafood! it doesn’t matter what time of year, i love serving prawns and oysters or anything that’s freshly caught. People also don’t appreciate the meat in australia. We are the luckiest people in the world with the quality of meat available. i love cooking with beef.

Best pub meal or favourite place to go for a drink with friends and why?

The Bellum is hands down the best pub meal in Mount Gambier. They do the best schnitzels and burgers in town and it’s great for a few drinks with friends. you will not be disappointed. and will not be leaving hungry, that is for sure!

Who does your hair/make up/nails before race day?

My favourite salon in Mount Gambier is Vanity Make-up Bar & Body lounge. it

is the best beauty salon in town. They offer a wide range of services such

as make-up, nails, massage, facials, pedicures and much more. if you’re

wanting to get anything like this done before race day, this is the place to come. They are always busy, especially on race day, so be sure to make an appointment

to be pampered and look fabulous.

Best thing to do and/or best tourist activity an on a weekend in Mount Gambier and why?

one must-see tourist attraction in Mount Gambier is the beautiful ‘Blue lake’. it is a lovely walk around the Blue lake and also the surrounding area. another of my

favourite things to do in the area is to go for a drive to the surrounding beach towns such as carpenter Rocks, Port

MacDonnell, Robe and Beachport.
