Over three scrumptious days (August 4-6, 2023), more than 15,000 people are expected visit the festival precinct, watch live cooking demonstrations, rub shoulders with celebrity chefs, listen to live music and sample the delights of the Moreton Bay Region’s amazing food bowl.

Miguel can’t wait to bring his contagious sense of frivolity to Moreton Bay Food + Wine Festival, combining it with the best produce from the region to present memorable cooking demonstrations and two dinners.

He was a hit at last year’s festival, but a busy calendar meant he could only attend on the first day. He’s thrilled to be returning for the whole event this year.
