S-CAPE TO SHOWCASE COFFS HARBOUR'S CULINARY TALENTThis October, the nation's best regional chefs will compete to win one of Australia's top culinary honours along with an international food trip. Does your region have the produce, the talent and the passion to win this prestigious culinary challenge? Founded in 1997, the LifeStyle FOOD Channel Australian Regional Culinary Competition is part of Tasting Australia, and is the only competition of its kind, aiming to recognise, develop and promote professional cookery by attracting teams from Australia's regional areas. A group of young chefs from the S-Cape Café in Coffs Harbour are looking forward to taking on the rest of the country, and promoting the talent and produce that their region has to offer. "Our mission is to bring national awareness to the high quality of dining in Coffs Harbour and it's excellent produce, by incorporating Aabenraa beef and pork, and never forgetting the Coffs banana," said Peter Bates, S-Cape Team Captain. "We relish the challenge, and are excited about the competition, experiencing the event, and returning to Coffs Harbour with a greater knowledge of culinary skills." The LifeStyle FOOD Channel, Australia's only television channel totally dedicated to food, is the major sponsor of the Competition. "There is no other culinary competition in Australia which so perfectly reflects our regional differences," said Ric Burns, General Manager. The high-profile competition will take place at Adelaide TAFE SA's Regency Campus from Monday to Thursday, October 15 to 18, 2007 with awards presented on the final night of competition at a gala event at the Hyatt Regency Adelaide. The sixth Tasting Australia event will celebrate the theme of 10 years and growing with eight days of culinary splendour from 13 - 20 October 2007. Tasting Australia is owned and managed by Events South Australia, a division of the South Australian Tourism Commission.
