Vacation inspiration: Celebrity chef to cook in Dunsborough

Celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita will visit Dunsborough to host a live cooking demonstration for guests at Club Wyndham as part of a partnership with vacation ownership club, Club Wyndham South Pacific.

The majority of apartments at Club Wyndham Dunsborough offer full kitchen facilities, and the plan is for Kuruvita to provide visiting families with inspiration to make use of local flavours while staying at the resort.

Kuruvita has established restaurants in Sydney, Fiji, and on his home of the Sunshine Coast, helmed five TV shows and written three cookbooks, including My Feast with Peter Kuruvita.

“To coincide with Peter’s visits, we are also launching a series of culinary-inspired travel guides and visitor maps to give our members insight into regional flavours they can adopt in their cooking, and the best food and beverage destinations in each region,” Warren Cullum, Senior Vice President Operations at Travel + Leisure Co said.

“Our partnership with Peter is designed to highlight the tastes of South Pacific and Sri Lankan cooking, enrich the experiences of our Club Wyndham South Pacific members and guests, and demonstrate the ability families have to create home-cooked wonders in their apartment-style accommodation.

“Our club members will be able to enter their own culinary creations into a competition to win a three-night getaway and an autographed copy of Chef Kuruvita’s cookbook.”

Kuruvita will hold the demonstrations and then dine with a select group of club owners and guests at Club Wyndham Phillip Island on July 30 and August 1, and at Club Wyndham Dunsborough on August 21 and August 23.

“I have been fortunate to travel extensively across my career and I love educating gastronomes in flavour, and helping emerging chefs expand their knowledge and sharpen their skills,” Kuruvita said.

“I am looking forward to partnering with Club Wyndham and meeting club members and resort guests, and instilling in them my passion for the South Pacific, Sri Lanka and sustainable cooking.”
