25.01.2022 Loving the pace of a lazy Sunday. With the end of MasterChef comes a new chapter and adventures. I am looking forward to getting to know you all better and I am looking forward to sharing more about myself and lifestyle here in the Barossa Valley. There is so much goodness to come as I continue to work on developing delicious recipes and lifestyle inspiration for my personal website and for @frondandfarro . So stay tuned and let me know what recipes or lifestyle inspo that you would like to see from me! #mybarossa #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia

25.01.2022 We are already kicking off the celebrations for the @masterchefau finale tonight with a chilled bottle of Mumm champagne and some fresh oysters! Here are a few fun behind the scenes pics for you. However, this first picture was taken whilst we are watching Laura and Emelia cooking their hearts out and giving it their all- not only do I love dearly love these two women but I know how much they dearly love each other and yet are both hungry for the title and have worked so hard to get to this point, so much respect for them! #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia

25.01.2022 Relaxing and Grazing the afternoon away with this Vitello Tonnato and a crisp glass of Chardonnay that my partner makes in California for our family winery. So proud of his talent and general nice guy skills! Can’t think of a better way to enjoy the sunshine today!! xx #masterchefau #wine

23.01.2022 Baking therapy alert! This Blood Orange & Marscapone Mousse Tart is perfect if you love to anchor yourself in a project and enjoy taking the time to cook something a little special. There are 3 main elements here and I have constructed it as a tart but it works equally as well if you want to do it as a deconstructed dessert. Also, just as an aside, the Marscapone Mousse alone by itself is just heavenly!! Recipe link in bio. Enjoy! xx #cookbeautiful #barossa #barossavalley #southaustralia #masterchefau #masterchef

19.01.2022 It feels a bit challenging to share recipes at the moment that for many of us are reminiscent of gathering, celebrations and special occasions and where we would normally be surrounded by friends, family or loved ones. At the same time, that is the beauty of food. What originally drew me to cooking was because it had this innate quality which seemingly allowed me to travel to another time or place. Or even evoke a memory, making it easier to conjure the details just a little ...more viscerally. So, for me Pavlova takes me to summertime. Surrounded by family and friends outside, on a hot night outside on the verandah, with conversations that last late into the night. So regardless of where you are or who you are able to be with right now, maybe there is a dish, that for you sparks a memory of a time, place or loved one and cooking it brings that memory a little closer. Even though Pavlova is an old favourite, the making of this is a new combination. This particular combination came together as I wanted to use up some excess ingredients in my fridge and freezer and yes it probably sounds a little ridiculous because l get it not everyone has Davidson Plums hanging around in their freezer! So I have given a frozen mixed berry substitute. All three of the elements for this dessert can be made and enjoyed separately. However, when layered together they become a little bit magical. The layers of sweet soft marshmallowy meringue with its crisp outer shell and layered with sweet tart citrus, plum and berry flavours all work beautifully together. It is certainly decadent, but it is still quite light and not overfilling. The recipe for this Myer Lemond & Davidson Plum Pavlova is up on my website now and as always, please feel free to tag me when you cook any of my recipes so I can stare on my stories. Enjoy! xx #sweetsunday #pavlovas #davidsonplum #lemons #mybarossa #barossa #barossavalley #southaustralia #australia See more

17.01.2022 You have been a true champion @reynoldpoer !! You are off the charts talented!! Cooking in the @masterchefau kitchen- especially in team challenges was always and absolute pleasure! You are a remarkable mix of talent and humility, humour and composure. You were always focused in a cook yet generous to work cohesively and respectfully with those around you. When we first entered the MC kitchen this season, I was so intimidated by you, but that changed and I absolutely left with so much admiration and respect for you! You deserve every bit of success that comes you way! X #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia

15.01.2022 Roasted Cauliflower with Sunflower Seed ‘Hummus’. As many of us are now mindful and moving towards more sustainable habits of eating, this is a really approachable dish to make. It takes no longer than 10-15 mins of ‘hands on’ time to chop and dress the Cauliflower and make the ‘Hummus’. I think that as we make more conscious efforts to change our eating habits, it is certainly easier to make those changes when the measures are accessible in terms of ingredients, time and s...kills required. This recipe certainly ticks those boxes as it is simple in nature and execution, but it’s totally satisfying because you still get all the elements of a balanced dish through the textures of crunch & creaminess & the flavours of charred toasty nuttiness, acid, salt & spice. The recipe is up now on my website (link in bio) Enjoy! xx Vegan, Gluten Free & Dairy Free #barossa #barossavalley #southaustralia #cookbeautiful #consciouseating #sustainableliving #masterchefau #masterchef See more

10.01.2022 What an epic ride!! Congratulations @emelia_jackson on taking the @masterchefau title, you are now even more than the queen of desserts - and you now have your name etched onto a very fancy plate to prove it!! Congratulations to @laurasharrad also, you may not have taken out the title but you are still an absolute winner in our hearts, you are a true champion also!! Xx #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia #backtowin

09.01.2022 I posted this Roast Butternut & Maple cake with Walnut crust a couple of weeks ago. I put it out to everyone to see if people were in favour of a coffee or tea glaze. Well the people have spoken and the result is .... a hung jury!! The responses across the board were a tie between coffee lovers, tea lovers and swingers!! The recipe is now up and available on my website with both Tea and Coffee Glaze options. Enjoy! xx #cookbeautiful #masterchefau #pumpkincake #mybarossa #barossa #barossavalley #southaustralia

07.01.2022 Placing a lasagne down in the middle of the table, gathering the family around, enjoying the time with a nice glass of vino, or maybe two. It’s always well worth the effort. This version is with a cauliflower bechamel. Lighter than traditional bechamel but so very tasty. If you are feeling inspired to cook it, the recipe is up on my website. I would love to hear and see what you think and Please tag me when you cook any of my recipes Enjoy xx Pepper grinder by @jamfactoryau - best one I have ever had!!! & plate by @countryroad Photo by @brendanhomanphotography #masterchefau #mybarossa #gather #familyiseverything #southaustraliatourism #australia #barossa #barossavalley

05.01.2022 Are you a strictly coffee person, are you tea person, or do you swing both ways? I have been trialing this Roast Butternut, Maple and Walnut Cake, but we have a hung jury in our house on which glaze to finish off the cake- a Coffee Glaze OR an Earl Grey Tea Glaze. Both worked really well. Personally I am a tea aficionado but I realise that many, if not most people love their coffee!! So to please both camps I will include both the tea and the coffee glaze recipes with the cake when the website goes up (coming very soon) X #masterchefau #masterchefaustralia #mybarossa #pumpkincake

05.01.2022 Fusilli with Kale and Walnut Pesto. Our families first go at rolling out Fusilli. Thank you for the inspiration @juliaostro ! Moving with the same philosophy as Julia and using what I have on hand in the kitchen and garden. Recipe For the Pesto 1 large handful kale- stems removed 1 large handful rocket... 1 bunch basil leaves 50g raw walnuts 1/2 garlic clove peeled and finely chopped 1/2 cup light olive oil Juice of 1 lemon 1 teaspoon salt flakes 50g Parmigiano Reggiano Place all ingredients in a blender and mix together - taste and adjust as needed. Enjoy! Xx #mybarossa #barossa #barossavalley #southauatralia #australia #masterchefau #barossafood #sagreat #cookbeautiful #consciousliving #slowliving

04.01.2022 Let me officially introduce you to my accommodation @theloftbarossa Our lovely light filled 2 story apartment located centrally in the heart of the Barossa Valley. If you would like to more information about staying go to the The Loft link in my bio.... As many of you well understand this year has been one of constant change. With the need to pivot, shimmy or wrangle the many challenges that 2020 has dealt. Earlier in the year I introduced my accommodation business Frond & Farro to you all. However, with the changes of the year we have had to adapt and revise. So for now the Frond & Farro as a name is being placed to the side as we work through our new structure and plans. In its place we introduce The Loft. There are still exciting things in the makings so stay tuned. I look forward to sharing it all with you as it unfolds. #mybarossa #barossa #barossavalley #southaustralia #accommodation #barossaaccommodation #masterchefau

02.01.2022 Kale Spanakopita. While winter green are growing wild in the garden and readily available from the markets this is a delicious way to make sure nothing goes to waste in the garden or kitchen. As always, have a play and freestyle it a bit in the kitchen. Use up whatever greens, herbs or cheeses that you have available to you. Enjoy! xx If you feel like giving this recipe a whirl you will find it on my website.
