We would like to invite you to an evening of culinary delight featuring unique cultural experiences by local Aboriginal creators and performers, Djinda Ngardak, meaning “Albany Comes Alive Under the Stars”, in Noongar language.
Prepare Produce Provide in partnership with Tourism WA, WAITOC, City of Albany, SW Development Commission, South Coast NRM, DPID, local producers and suppliers, present a unique dining experience that supports and showcases Aboriginal Youth from across WA and is part of the Djinda Ngardak Culinary Program.
At the heart of this culinary program is the sharing of presentations by regional ambassadors, a range of food masterclasses, a focus on product development using regional botanicals, as well as building industry-related skills to support career pathways in the tourism, hospitality, agriculture and business sectors.
Under the guidance of award-winning chef Paul Iskov (chef and owner, Fervor) and highly regarded chefs, the regional Aboriginal Ambassadors are given the opportunity to work closely to develop a range of dishes.
These dishes feature on the menu highlighting local Great Southern regional produce inspired by regional native ingredients. The evening's entertainment includes Aboriginal Art, Music, Dance and a fashion showcase featuring Aboriginal models and inspiring Kirrikin Fashion.
This is an evening – a celebration of life and culture. One that will connect you to the youth of the beautiful country we live on.
