CAMPSIE FOOD FESTIVAL: Full of flavour
The Mayor of the City of Canterbury, Cr Robert Furolo today encouraged residents to prepare for a culinary extravaganza at this year's Campsie Food Festival on Saturday, 17 May.
This year marks the 10th birthday of the Campsie Food Festival as well as the 20th anniversary of Canterbury's Sister City accord with the South Korean city of Eunpyeong-gu.
"Sharing Campsie's flavours of the world, we're thrilled to have food author and television presenter Maeve O'Meara along as our celebrity guest," the Mayor said.
"Maeve's lifelong love of food has taken her on a global journey of discovery and she continues to encourage others to explore the world of cuisine that is out there.
"Food and the quest to find new and tantalising ways to prepare it is something that all the different cultures of the world have in common, despite the distances of land and language.
"Maeve is the creator and presenter of the acclaimed 13-part series 'Food Safari' on SBS Television, which ventured into the homes of culturally diverse cooks all around Australia.
"One of the series' episodes featured local Korean chefs, Mrs Susana Kim of Campsie's Jang Won restaurant and Mr Chris Kang of Paldo Kim Chi at Canterbury.
"Maeve began her career as a newspaper, magazine and television journalist, later entering into the food tourism industry with her popular Gourmet Safaris tours, which also celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
"Maeve is also an ambassador for the Sydney charity Oz Harvest, which donates unused food from restaurants and caterers to the needy."
"People can sample the delicacies of more than 60 international food stalls at this year's Campsie Food Festival, representing a wide range of countries including Indigenous Australia, Korea, Turkey, Greece, Thailand and the Pacific Islands.
"A full day's program of entertainment is planned for the day, including a schools cooking competition, amusement rides and fireworks at 7pm.
"It will be a great day out for the whole family and we're lucky to have Maeve O'Meara at the Campsie Food Festival to promote wonderful and diverse cuisine we have in our City," Mayor Furolo said.
The Campsie Food Festival will stretch along Beamish Street and into Anzac Mall, Campsie, on Saturday, May 17, from 10am-9pm.
