Description

The ACFSQ Truffle Hunt is back for 2026, returning to The Folly Truffles in Ballandean in the heart of Queensland's Granite Belt.

An afternoon out of the kitchen and into the paddock. Walk the truffle fields with an experienced guide, watch the hunt in action, and get up close with one of the most sought-after seasonal ingredients in Australian food.

It's also a great chance to connect with fellow chefs and food professionals in a setting far removed from service.

Founded in 1994, the Australian Culinary Federation National Office Inc. was born from the shared vision of a group of passionate industry stakeholders. These forward-thinking chefs sought to safeguard the culinary landscape, championing a more inclusive and representative community for cooks, chefs, apprentices, and culinary students across Australia. Their aim was to establish a unified body that would support the interests and development of culinary professionals and raise the Australian profile of the culinary arts both nationally and internationally.

This founding group set principles of unity, high standards, and professional growth, creating an association that has become a cornerstone of the Australian foodservice industry. The Australian Culinary Federation today stands for innovation, education, and community, advancing the goals of those in the cookery field.

Over the years, the federation has expanded its reach, introducing various programs, competitions, and educational initiatives that foster the continuous development of industry skills and knowledge. It stands as a testament to the collective vision and lasting influence of those pioneering chefs who, nearly three decades ago, envisioned a brighter and more respected future for the culinary profession in Australia.

Today, the Australian Culinary Federation continues to nurture the next generation of culinary talent, championing sustainability, innovation, and high standards. It remains true to its founding values, promoting a culture of inclusivity and advancement that resonates with culinary professionals both in Australia and around the world.
