Katie White will attend the Mullum Farmers Market on Friday, May 2, as the Harvest Festival gets underway
Beloved SBS chef and cookbook author Katie White has returned to the Northern Rivers—and she’s kicking off this year’s Northern Rivers Food Harvest Festival with flavour and flair. On Friday, May 2, Katie will be at the Mullumbimby Farmers Market, running her own stall and showcasing recipes from her latest cookbook, The Seasonal Vegan.
Katie’s food is a celebration of seasonal produce, shaped by her time abroad and the influence of her French partner. While best known for her plant-based creations, she’ll be serving up a range of vibrant vegetarian dishes at the market, offering something fresh and delicious for everyone. Signed copies of her cookbook will also be available on the day.
Raised on a farm in rural Australia, Katie’s culinary passion began in a childhood mud kitchen. Since then, she’s become one of the first to complete Le Cordon Bleu’s Plant-Based Culinary Arts diploma, opened a cooking school in the Byron Bay hinterland, and earned national acclaim for her joyful, nourishing approach to food.
Katie will also be leading a series of hands-on cooking classes at the Harvest Hub at the Moller Pavilion (Bangalow Showgrounds) on Saturday, May 3, from 11am to 4pm. For private group bookings or future classes, you can contact her directly at [email protected].
Now in its ninth year, the Northern Rivers Food Harvest Festival is a month-long celebration of the region’s food, producers, and community. Visitors can enjoy farm tours, tastings, meet-the-maker sessions, and more.
Katie will appear alongside chef and farmer Paul West of River Cottage Australia during the festival’s Harvest Hub weekend – one of many exciting opportunities to connect with local food heroes.
Make sure to catch Katie bright and early at Mullumbimby Farmers Market on May 2 – delicious things await between 7am and 11am!
