Matt Golinski will bring Queensland’s exceptional seasonal produce to life in a live cooking demonstration, while sharing the thinking behind creating dishes that celebrate place, provenance and flavour.

The session will explore how chefs can turn great local ingredients into standout menu offerings, from selecting produce and working with the seasons to building strong producer relationships and making smarter sourcing decisions. Along the way, Matt will share how these choices can influence menu development, customer experience and the commercial performance of a venue.

Expect practical insights, plenty of culinary inspiration and a closer look at how championing Queensland produce can create stronger menus, deeper supplier relationships and more distinctive hospitality businesses.
