Event details
Event: Adelaide CEO Cookoff
Date: Tuesday, 28 October 2025
Time: 3:30pm - 9:30pm
Location: 25-27 Manton Street, Hindmarsh, SA Australia 5007
Join us in Adelaide!
Join us for an extraordinary night, as our vibrant warehouse transforms into a buzzing event space where business leaders join culinary masters from Parwana Afgan Kitchen and founder of Indigiearth Sharon Winsor in our kitchen to cook, connect and create change.
This is a powerful leadership experience where CEOs swap strategy for service, to prepare and serve a gourmet dinner to special guests from charities OzHarvest supports.
This immersive evening will be filled with sizzling pans, shared stories, community spirit and real impact. As the warehouse hums with energy, music, and laughter, you’ll be part of something truly powerful — a movement that goes beyond charity, creating meaningful change through the simple but profound act of sharing a meal.
With demand for food relief higher than ever in SA, there’s never been a more important time to support our cause. To join the event, participants pledge to raise crucial funds for OzHarvest to feed people in need. Every plate served is a reminder of what’s possible when community, compassion, and leadership come together.
So, roll up your sleeves, bring your heart to the table, and help create an unforgettable night for those who need it most. All funds raised will help feed people in need in the local community.

Florence the Fabulous" There once was a Florence who cooked with a cause, She healed with a whisk and loved a good cause. Part Nightingale, part charity flair, She served up good deeds with éclairs and care. She said, “Stir in some kindness, bake hope till it's done— And don’t forget cake, the French feed everyone!”
