San Remo Is The Star Of The ShowSan Remo has a starring role in a new reality TV cooking show! An episode of The Great Aussie Cook Off is being filmed on the San Remo foreshore on Saturday, 5 September. By Bass Coast Shire Council - 20th August 2009 - Back to News The Great Aussie Cook Off features eight Australian families competing to create the best three course meal. The show will be broadcast on the Nine Network from 11 October and is being filmed at iconic locations across Australia, including Surfer’s Paradise, Federation Square and Sydney Harbour.
Local residents will have the opportunity to be part of the audience when the Cook Off comes to San Remo.
Bass Coast Shire Council’s Events Coordinator, Frank Angarane, said the episode will have a seafood focus.
"The set for the show will be adjacent to the beach, with the San Remo jetty and boats in the background," explained Mr Angarane.
"Families are invited to come along and be part of the studio audience. Filming starts at 9am and goes until 1pm.
"There will be grandstand audience seating, but it is limited, so it will be a case of first in best dressed," Mr Angarane said.
"There will be a market set up to showcase local produce, so there will be lots of things for people to do. It should be a great family day out."
The Great Aussie Cook Off – series concept
The Great Aussie Cook Off is a new annual event to find the best family of cooks in the country. The competition has been designed to celebrate our wonderful cultural diversity in cuisine along with the passion many Aussie families share for great home cooking. The event is strictly for everyday "family" home cooks, not chefs. After an extensive national audition process, eight families from around Australia have been selected to compete in the TV series.
Two families will go head to head in a Cook Off in each episode of the series. The families must each cook a three course meal in just 30 minutes, adding their own magic touch to each dish, using the some mandatory ingredients and then and other ingredients to create their masterpieces. The family nominates one person to cook the entrée, one the dessert and two to cook the main.
