WA Celebrity Signature Dish June 10 2017

On June 10 Western Australia celebrated our own WA Day. Part of the celebrations at Elizabeth Quay was the WA Day Celebrity Signature dish cook off hosted by #BuyWestEatBest and #WADay. There were 4 teams each with a celebrity and a chef or mentor. The regions as you see below were Peel, Swan Valley, Southern Forests and Kimberley. There was a panel of 3 judges and the winner was Team Peel with a beautiful roast lamb dish. But it was a fun and exciting event all round. This was a shoot I did for #MenuMagazine here in Perth!

Brunch @ Voyager Estate Margaret River Nov 20 2016

This year as part of MR Gourmet Escape I was lucky to attend one of the special brunches with the star chefs at Voyager Estate. As if Voyager is not gorgeous enough on it’s own (seriously, check it out), this event offered the chance to enjoy a great brunch while hearing these international chefs speak about their famous restaurants and their views about food and work. Hosted by Alice Zaslavsky food host from Melbourne, we were entertained and amazed by how these chefs had become top in their fields worldwide. Joan Roca runs ‘El Celler de Can Roca with his brothers, in Spain. This is famous as the world’s best restaurant. Andoni Luis Aduriz heads Mugaritz, a world famous restaurant in Basque country. Dominique Crenn (shown in the hat) is a 2 Michelin star chef in San Francisco. Her world famous restaurant is called ‘Atelier Crenn’. Here are the pics:
