The first day of April marked the start of the Edgy Veg Awards.
The awards run from April 1 – 30 and there are a whopping 42 dishes entered across 26 cafes, pubs and restaurants in the Macedon Ranges.
You can choose to eat a casual meal at a café or pub, or splash out at a fancy restaurant like Baringo in Gisborne, Fook Shing in Kyneton, or Kyneton Ridge Estate winery.
The event is an initiative of Veg Action to encourage people to eat more veg. We all know eating more veg is important – for our health, and the planet’s. Reducing your meat and dairy intake helps cut methane gas and nitrous oxide emissions.
“The Edgy Veg Awards give you the perfect opportunity to try new dishes made by the best chefs in the Macedon Ranges, and to add a little more veg to your day,” said Claire Rowlands, group leader of Veg Action.
Voting in the competition is easy, each participating venue will display the competition QR code that you can scan to rate your dish online.
You can find out more about the Edgy Veg Awards from the competition website: veg.mrsg.org.au/edgy-veg-awards.
The awards are funded by the Macedon Ranges Shire Council, as part of the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group’s Sustainable Living Festival series.
