The Culinary Kitchen

The Culinary Kitchen celebrated food, flavour, and innovation. As a new demonstration stage in 2025, it was where chefs, producers, and food innovators showcased the techniques, trends, and tastes shaping cuisine.

This dynamic, live kitchen experience shone a spotlight on the people, passion, and produce transforming kitchens in Australia and beyond. Across four flavour-packed days, renowned chefs, top talent, and rising culinary stars shared their expertise through live cooking demos, ingredient deep-dives, and creative presentations.

From local sourcing and seasonal produce to global flavours, each session offered attendees a chance to learn, get inspired, and reimagine their approach to food. Whether mastering a new plating style, discovering a unique supplier, or seeing how chefs adapted to changing expectations, this was where innovation met execution.

Chefs, growers, and food educators shared how culture, sustainability, and creativity came together to shape what’s next in food—both on the plate and behind the scenes.
