All About Bunya Nuts with Chris Jordan

8 - 16 MAY 2026

Queensland Museum Kurila

Renowned First Nations chef Chris Jordan invites you to an unforgettable, hands-on food experience celebrating the bunya nut — one of Queensland's most iconic and culturally significant native ingredients.

Discover the fascinating story of bunya season: when the nuts are harvested, their deep connections to Country, and their powerful role in community gathering, ceremony, and shared knowledge.

Blending lively storytelling with practical cooking, Chris will show you how to prepare and cook with bunya nuts in delicious, everyday ways — sharing tips, techniques, and flavour pairings you can take into your own kitchen.

Delivered in his signature warm and generous style, this immersive session is filled with flavour, culture, and connection — culminating in a mouth-watering tasting experience prepared before your eyes.
