From Copenhagen to London, Edinburgh Fringe and sold-out shows at the Adelaide Fringe, multi award-winning performer, singer and cook, Michelle Pearson is coming to the Coonawarra for the first time to dish up a delicious cabaret for all the senses.

While feeding her audience delectable dishes from a Mediterranean menu, Ms Pearson will take you on an hilarious and heart-warming dinner journey in Comfort Food Cabaret on Friday (May 19) at Brand’s Laira as part of the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival.

With her seasoned musicians, Australia’s singing cook presents a recipe of live music, storytelling and cooking featuring jazz, rock and pop from Etta James to Cold Chisel whilst celebrating local produce in this musical food cabaret sensation.

Comfort Food Cabaret merges home-style cooking with recipe demonstrations, family tales and musical cabaret featuring a live band.

It draws on Ms Pearson’s culture and personal experiences and has received widespread acclaim in Australia and overseas after sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide and Melbourne Fringe Festivals and Tasting Australia, as well as extraordinary performances at Copenhagen’s three Michelin star restaurant, Geranium, and London’s South Australia Club Gala Dinner.

“I cannot wait to visit the Coonawarra as part of the Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival,” Ms Pearson said.

“I have a real affection for performing in the regions and the people that make up these communities have a special place in my heart.

“I am looking forward to meeting all the local makers and foodies within the community.”
