AUTUMN One cannot think well, love well, and sleep well, if one has not dined well. Virginia Woolf
OUR PHILOSOPHY Saskia Beer is an artisan food producer, cook and food educator. She has partnered with the Novotel to provide an authentic Barossa Valley food and wine experience. Our food philosophy at The Cellar Kitchen is to showcase ingredients from the farms, fields and homes of our fellow Barossan and South Australians We are inspired by our farmers, by the ingredients growing wild around us, by the seasons and what the harvest will bring Our food is driven by the land and the people around us, grown with love and hard work, presented with care and thought to the innate characteristics of the ingredients and how to utilise them fully. At The Cellar Kitchen we believe in using the whole animal, all of the crop, we preserve, cure and pickle ingredients in house. We butcher and process our meats and produce in house charcuterie and a myriad of dishes. Breads are made in house, cheese, olives and oils are all local- our farming network is wide and our backyard is abundant. We want to produce heart-warming food that is not only enjoyable, but gives our guests a real insight to the region they are staying in and the craft and skill of the food producers that inhabit it.
