Camden served up a feast for the senses yesterday (Sunday 21 September), as thousands enjoyed the hugely successful TASTE Camden 2025.
The much-loved culinary event ran from noon until 5pm at Camden Town Farm and fulfilled its promise as a day filled with food, music and community spirit.
Attendees were treated to a feast of flavours, with stallholders serving local favourites alongside exotic international dishes. The fabulous food was complemented by a licensed bar, where attendees were able to purchase local and regional beers, ciders and wines to take home for this first time at this event.
A special highlight was the cooking demonstrations from this year's guest chef, MasterChef 2021 winner, Justin Narayan. He inspired audiences with creative ways to use local produce and shared his tips, techniques and favourite dishes, including his recipes for elote (Mexican grilled corn), chicken curry tacos with coriander chutney and barfi spice caramel slice.
The atmosphere was alive with live performances from an incredible line-up of talented artists, including
Carly Mozsny, Ria Grace (formerly Brcic), Luke Koteras and Taste of Soul, keeping the crowd
entertained all afternoon.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said she was thrilled to see so many people enjoying themselves.
"Seeing so many smiling faces, trying so many amazing dishes and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere - it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday in my books," she said.
"It was so fun to look on and see so many families making the most of the free activities on offer. From face painting and donut decorating to craft making and garden games, there really was something for everyone.
"TASTE Camden continues to be a standout event that brings our community together in such a beautiful way - I'm already looking forward to next year's event."
