THE Original Eumundi Markets’ Market Chef is back with weekly cooking demonstrations that see esteemed chefs from top Sunshine Coast restaurants share their kitchen magic with high school students on Wednesdays during term two.
The lively cooking demonstrations will take place from 10am to 11am from Wednesday 29 April to Wednesday 17 June.
The first cooking demonstration on 29 April saw head chef Chris Hagan from The Long Apron in Montville mentor students from St Andrew’s Anglican College, Good Shepherd Lutheran College and Noosa Christian College.
In keeping with The Long Apron’s philosophy, the produce used was local and seasonal.
Market manager Daniel West said he was excited by the impressive line-up of restaurants taking part in Market Chef 2015, including the The Long Apron (Montville), Bistro C (Noosa), Via Italia (Mooloolaba), Belmondos Organic Market (Noosaville), The Bohemian Bungalow (Eumundi), Noosa Boathouse (Noosaville), Gaston (Noosa), and Berardo’s (Noosa).
“Market Chef is a great value-add for market visitors with a keen interest in cooking and all things fabulously foodie,” Daniel said.
“It’s also a genuinely unique opportunity for senior students studying hospitality to cook alongside the industry’s best. What a privilege, and what a great way to inspire the students who will become the next generation of chefs and food lovers.”
Recipes cooked during Market Chef incorporate fresh produce and ingredients from local growers and suppliers available at the Original Eumundi Markets.
Chefs will be mentoring students from St Andrew’s Anglican College, Noosa Christian College, Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Maroochydore State High School, St Teresa’s Catholic College, Burnside State High School, Immanuel Lutheran College, Mountain Creek State High School, Unity College Caloundra, and Glasshouse Country Christian College – sharing their expertise, cooking techniques and skills.
