In response to this situation, the Kangaroo Meat Awareness Package was launched today in South Australia to improve knowledge among chefs and other staff of the value, versatility and health attributes of kangaroo meat.
A collaborative effort between the kangaroo industry, Regency Institute of TAFE (South Australia) and the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), it is envisaged the Kangaroo Meat Awareness Package will provide the catalyst to include kangaroo meat into many of the training programs offered to cookery/hospitality, students/employees in TAFE Institutes and private training organisations around Australia.
The Kangaroo Meat Awareness Package contains a video and DVD which incorporates two sections. The first takes a Chef and his young cooking and waiting staff on a journey to discover more information about kangaroo meat, the industry, the different cuts available and cooking methods. This includes an element of comedy, brought in by an aging waiter, a difficult and naïve customer and the goings on in a not too typical restaurant.
The package also contains a CD ROM which offers the learner an opportunity to access information regarding the kangaroo industry, kangaroo specifications and selected meat cuts booklet, cooking methods and recipes for selected kangaroo dishes.
One of the most interesting
and valuable tools installed into the CD ROM is its ability to have most
of the information on screen translated into either French or Italian by
the simple push of a keyboard letter.
The package also includes
the recipes (over 40) from the CD ROM in hard copy. With the Kangaroo
Specifications and Selected Meat Cuts booklet included, this represents
the most comprehensive teaching and learning package ever produced for
game meat.
ENDS
The launch of the Kangaroo Meat Awareness Package will take place in Adelaide at 11:30am on June 23rd at the Regency Institute of TAFE.
