Tickets to this celebrity chef lunch have sold out. However, with new overnight packages, including a ‘golden ticket’ to the much-anticipated event, there is still time to be there.
Internationally renowned Australian chef, restaurateur, TV presenter, and cookbook author Peter Kuruvita will soon visit Australia’s original glamping property, Paperbark Camp, on the NSW South Coast to cook a lavish Sri Lankan banquet amongst the treetops.
The aromas of Sri Lanka will be at the fore of this curated, plant-based, long lunch at Paperbark Camp alongside his friend and former Paperbark chef, Joanne McRae. Kuruvita’s father was Sri Lankan, so it’s part of his natural talent to spice up his dishes with exotic spices. A sumptuous, three-course lunch is part of the Shoalhaven Food Network’s ‘Autumn Celebration of Food’, which showcases the region’s fresh produce and creative cuisine.
Tickets to the three-course ‘Lands of the Curry Leaf’ gourmet lunch on 4 June 2023 have sold out. However Paperbark Camp’s special one and two-night packages at the luxurious eco camp are the way food lovers can score a seat at this exclusive table.
