The Shire has hosted its second live cook-off, "A Taste of Harmony", at the Ningaloo Centre, to great acclaim from the community. Tickets sold out well before the event began, and the 65 guests were treated to recipes and anecdotes from the guest chefs' European homelands in the style of SBS's "Destination Flavour".

All three guest cooks lived in Exmouth for 4 to 22 years, shared some of their unique family memories connected to their dish and answered the guests' questions during the night.

Darlene Allston from the Ningaloo Cooking Studio hosted the evening and prepared the dishes based on the cooking Exmouth locals' recipes.

That evening, on the menu, was a Sauerkraut & Kransky Bake, Russian Beef Pirog and a classic from Switzerland: Sautéed Chicken & Mushroom. Complimented by dishes presented in the previous year for a diverse menu to be enjoyed after the presentations.

COMMENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE SHIRE – ACTING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER MATTHEW BIRD

"Harmony Week is all about celebrating the amazing cultures that make up our local community. As GWN7s reigning Top Tourism Town, we welcome tens of thousands of visitors each year. We are proud that many once visitors chose to live permanently in Exmouth - with more than 35% of permanent residents born overseas, Exmouth is a great testament to a multicultural Western Australia."
