Celebrity Chef Cookery Demonstrations – An opportunity to sit down, relax and listen to the running commentary from our resident celebrity Chef Nigel Brown as he prepares and cooks the food. A chance to pick up helpful hints and tips for hosting your own dinner party and impress your friends and family at home. There are demonstrations going on three times a day and Nigel is also available after the demonstration to answer any questions you have.
Top chef Nigel Brown regularly demonstrates his culinary talents at top food festivals and events, entertaining his audiences with his cheeky sense of humour and easy to follow teaching style.
You won’t find any “ego-bursting” recipes or impossible to find ingredients in Nigel’s demonstrations, just good food, heaps of fun and a good splash of finesse.
