Maggie Beer is a food legend, and a personal icon of mine. Unfortunately, Maggie was in Brisbane the weekend we were in Adelaide! The next best thing was visiting Pheasant Farm and Maggie’s Farm Shop in the Barossa.
I couldn’t visit the farm without trying Maggie’s pheasant pie (or terrine as it was served). This was as delicious as expected – and the sour cream pastry was beautiful! I believe it was served with Maggie’s “Cabernet sauce” which is amazingly good – so good in fact we brought a bottle of it home with us! We also enjoyed the “picnic basket” with vegetable pate.
We stuck around for a cooking demonstration – featuring Maggie’s favourite ingredient – Verjuice (the juice of unripened wine grapes). I was quite excited because the demonstration was held in the kitchen featured on Maggie’s tv show “The Cook and the Chef”. I even had a nerdy photo taken of me in the kitchen!

Hi Leah,
It’s great to see that you enjoyed your recent visit to the Farmshop. Maggie’s terrine is our signature dish, and is oh so popular (with good reason!). Sorry you weren’t able to meet Maggie on this occasion; perhaps next time!
We hope to welcome you to The Farmshop next time you’re in our neck of the woods.
Best wishes,
argh- seriously jealous that you got to go to Maggie’s farmshop! It was nice to meet her in Brisbane though and a shame you missed out.
