Visitors to the Fieldays Kitchen Theatre will be treated to a wealth of knowledge and experience from this year's group of eight confirmed celebrity chefs who will educate, entertain and inspire.

This year's chef line-up includes Peter Gordon, Claire Turnbull, Ray McVinnie, Brett McGregor, Simon Gault, Megan May by Hyundai, Marc Soper with Greenlea Butcher shop and Yvonne Lorkin from Winefriend.

"It's fantastic to see this great group of kiwi chefs on board this year representing our country's impressive culinary industry," says Fieldays event manager Nicky Garland.

"The celebrity chefs play in important role in the Kitchen Theatre showing the food journey, connecting with the primary industries, showcasing our country's best produce and encouraging health and wellness.

"The Fieldays Kitchen Theatre area is always a popular one with visitors, giving them a chance to get away from the busy crowds and be inspired by the demonstrations on offer," says Nicky.
