What not to miss at Canberra Good Food Month 2018

The first lot of events sold out in the blink of an eye, but Canberra's Good Food Month in March has had more events added to the lineup, with tickets on sale now. Here's what not to miss:

- Reconciliation Place will be transformed into a sizzling, open-air market of food stalls for the Enlighten Night Noodle Markets from March 2-11. Food vendors this year include Canberra's own What The Pho, Grill'd & Spice, Kusina and KorBQ, who will be joined by Night Noodle Market veterans Hoy Pinoy, Twistto, Shallot Thai, and Donburi Station. The markets are cash-free to help keep the queues down, and you can also take along your pooch. Free entry. Open from 5pm weekdays and 4pm on the weekends.

- Known for her use of spice and global flavours, chef Christine Manfield will join forces with Ginger Catering's Janet Jeffs at the National Arboretum for a one-off dinner, with an all-female group of local chefs in the kitchen and local female winemakers behind the drinks.
