Countries including Austria, Bangladesh, India, Ghana, Nepal and Nigeria were represented.

The UNE International Hub has been the driving force behind the event with organiser Alexandra Cook at the helm this year.

Her team planned to make it a memorable event with more than 50 nationalities at UNE making it one of the most diverse campuses outside the major cities.

"It's great that it's driven by the students and the onus is on them to prepare the food they want," Ms Cook said.

"There are over 50 nationalities in the region and we love that we can give them a platform to cook or perform."

The event was supported by the NSW Government, Armidale Regional Council, the New England Regional Art Museum and UNE Life.
