3. MASTERCLASSES…FOR FREE!

You’ll be able to do this for free at the Philips Cook School throughout the entire festival weekend, where you can watch celebrity demos and cook along with the pros, using chef-approved fresh ingredients from Grandiose Supermarket, the Official Supermarket partner for the festival.

Taking place over all three days, you could be brushing shoulders with the likes of Eric Lanlard, Daniel Boulud, Massimo Bottura and the vibrant Jenny Morris. 

Plus, you can get your grill on at the Waterfront Market BBQ School, and put your cooking creativity to the test at the Kibsons Cooking Challenge.
