Get ready to whisk yourself away to one of the tastiest events on Camden's calendar, with Camden Council thrilled to reveal beloved TV cook and bestselling author, Justine Schofield, as the guest chef headlining TASTE Camden 2026.
Fresh from inspiring Australians in kitchens across the country, Justine will bring her signature warmth, French flair and flavour-packed cooking to the annual food festival, taking to the demonstration stage to share delicious recipes, handy kitchen tips and plenty of foodie inspiration.
The passionate advocate for simple, seasonal cooking said she was excited to be part of this year's event.
"Food has an incredible way of bringing people together, and that's exactly what TASTE Camden is all about," Justine said.
"I'm looking forward to celebrating the amazing local producers, showcasing simple, delicious recipes, and meeting everyone who shares a love of fresh food and cooking. It's going to be a fantastic day for the whole family."
Returning to Camden Town Farm on Sunday 20 September, 12-5pm, TASTE Camden will once again dish up a feast of flavours, featuring gourmet food stalls, local producers, artisan makers, live entertainment, family-friendly activities and more.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said this year's celebrity chef was the perfect ingredient for another unforgettable TASTE Camden.
"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Justine Schofield to TASTE Camden this year," she said.
