MY KITCHEN Rules 2013 winners Dan and Steph Mulheron will visit the Granite Belt for the first time in August to hold a live cooking demonstration at Tartufo Truffle Fest.

The pair live in Hervey Bay, where they run popular restaurant EAT, but MKR viewers will remember them as the adorable couple who entered so they could pay for IVF and start a family.

Five years later, the Mulherons will bring their three-year-old daughter Emmy along.

Dan Mulheron said he jumped at the opportunity when he was asked to join Brisbane chef Josh Lawson at the festival, a first of its kind in Queensland.

"To be honest truffles aren't a real passion... because of the price," Mr Mulheron said.

"They're not on our menu."

It was the chance to have a working holiday in a beautiful part of the world that lured them.

"We've never been to Stanthorpe and we're always looking to go to different places, so when the opportunity came up there was no hesitation, we're keen to come out."

A qualified chef for three years and restaurant owner for five, Mr Mulheron said he and Steph would be creating dishes to tempt local palates at Tartufo.

"We know what flavours work with the truffle and it just happens that everything grown locally in Stanthorpe goes well with the truffle," he said.

Hosted and organised by the Truffle Discovery Centre at The Summit, Tartufo will showcase the growing truffle industry in the Stanthorpe region.

Tartufo guests can taste truffle products, watch cooking demonstrations, enjoy a truffiere tour, a truffle barbecue breakfast and roast truffle lunch, or meet the dogs trained to lead truffle hunts.

The festival is on Sunday August 5, 9am-3pm at 335 Church Rd, The Summit.
