We were excited to welcome surfer, writer, marine biologist, host of Taste of Australia and lover of all thing’s food, Hayden Quinn!

His easy-going nature and enthusiasm for travel, the ocean, people and great food, make him one of Australia’s best-loved media personalities and we can’t wait to hear what he has to say as the host of Chefs in Conversation.

Hayden will also be showcasing his cooking skills with a live demonstration at Queensland’s Sunshine Pantry live at The Station with local celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita and other well-known local producers.

In 2011 Hayden launched into the cooking world with his appearance on Master Chef Australia Season 3 and became a regular on Australian TV with his own program Taste of Australia. His success has only grown since then.

Shows such as Surfing the Menu – Next Generation and Hayden Quinn South Africa (filmed for South African TV) have brought international success, reaching audiences as far and wide as China, South- East Asia, Taiwan and the Middle East.

He is a writer/contributor for delicious magazine, plus taste.com.au and is author of cookbook Dish It Up, eBooks Hayden Cooks with Friends and Hayden Cooks Summer, and co-author of Surfing the Menu – Next Generation.
