Cooking Demonstrations
Beautiful produce turned into something delicious right before your eyes…
Our Cooking Demonstrations celebrate the flavour, versatility, and stories behind heirloom ingredients - from vibrant tomatoes and heritage apples to garlic, pumpkins, herbs, and more. Throughout the day, talented local chefs will share simple techniques, seasonal recipes, and clever tips you can take straight home to your own kitchen.
These sessions are about inspiration, not intimidation. You don’t need to be a trained cook to enjoy them - just pull up a seat, watch, listen, and gather ideas! You might learn a new way to roast your veg, preserve the season’s goodies, or let our Tasmanian produce shine in a simple dish.
The Cooking Demonstrations Pavilion is located right near the heart of the festival, making it easy to pause between wandering the stalls and tasting local produce.
Sessions run across the day and are included with your festival admission. Check out the programme below, or simply wander around on the day, and follow the delicious aromas inside!
