The Edgy Veg Awards will turn the spotlight on the many ways vegetables can be cooked and consumed for the fourth year in the Macedon Ranges.
Throughout April, Ranges residents can support local venues by tasting and scoring vegelicious dishes served up at 46 pubs, cafes and restaurants across 12 villages in the region.
From crispy tofu bao buns in Castlemaine to cauliflower steak in Kyneton there is something for everyone.
All dishes are listed on the Edgy Veg Awards website so you can start planning your tasting trail now.
Each score puts you in the draw to win fabulous prizes and goes towards determining the winner of the ‘Most Vegelicious Dish’ of 2025.
This project is delivered by Veg Action, an action group under the umbrella of the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group, dedicated to increasing the availability and consumption of plant-based food in the region.
Veg Action lead and Edgy Veg Awards co-ordinator Claire Rowland said, “A lot of people when they go out don’t tend to try vegie dishes, so we’re trying to elevate them and show them how amazing and delicious they can be.”
The Edgy Veg Awards are not only a celebration of the amazing local businesses bringing these dishes to the table, but also growers locally and beyond the Macedon Ranges, she said.
