Deli Lane presented by Birds Eye Deli
Get ready for Deli Lane presented by Birds Eye Deli, a bold, flavour-forward long lunch, setting the table for an unmissable afternoon at Canvas House in South Melbourne. Celebrity cook Justine Schofield will be at the helm, curating a menu that embodies relaxed elevated food with a nod to contemporary mid-week-meal culture.
While Justine is the Director of Food, MasterChef alumni and Melbourne local Conor Curran is the Director of Vibes. Setting the energy and tone of the lunch, Conor will meet and greet guests, create a bespoke cocktail, and co-host Justine’s Q&A with Good Food’s Melbourne eating out and restaurant editor, Emma Breheny.
Deli Lane has been crafted as the perfect setting to celebrate the launch of Birds Eye Deli’s newest range of premium frozen vegetables, including two products that will be featured on Justine’s menu; the Garlic Butter Style Green Beans and Garlic Herb Broccoli. Both products are proudly grown and made in Australia, and these elevated vegetable offerings bring chef-quality flavours straight from local farms to the table. Justine’s curated menu will spotlight these two products, showcasing their versatility and rich flavours in ways that blur the line between convenience and gourmet dining.
Justine’s expertise in practical yet flavour-packed cooking ensures that both the event and her new book inspire effortless dining, whether at home or at the table with friends. “Deli Lane is all about embracing food that feels nostalgic yet fresh – bringing people together over familiar flavours with a modern twist,” says Schofield. “Think laid-back, long-table dining but with a touch of refined playfulness.”
