It’s always a full house in the Betta Cooking Demonstrations where recipe cards and giveaways are all part of the experience.
Chefs love to visit Narooma to share their favourite recipes and explore the oyster farms and local producers.
Admission is included with Saturday’s General Admission Ticket.
Host: Courtney Roulston
In 2026 the incredibly talented Courtney Roulston returns to Narooma Oyster Festival for her fifth year of hosting the Betta Cooking Stage – and she will prepare a dish too!
As host of Farm to Fork (Network 10) a regular guest on Sunrise Breakfast and Ambassador of Second Bite Charity, Courtney is an avid oyster lover, chef, caterer and Sydney Swans supporter (she’s their head chef too!).
Courtney first rose to fame in Series 2 of MasterChef Australia 2010 and every year she saves the date for Narooma Oyster Festival.
Courtney’s cooking demonstration will be held at 12.40pm on Saturday, May 2.
