Let me help

Behind every plate of food is an exciting culinary wonderland, filled with amazing of people, growers, artisan producers, restaurateurs and chefs all working together to bring something special on a plate. This world is filled with inspirations cultivated from memories, culture and traditions. Food that draws from these inspirations just tastes better, in my opinion. I have made it my life's passion to exploring the world behind the plate. Visual storytelling through my lens, my cooking and my travel explorations.

Let me share my passion with you and let me tell your visual story.

Instructions
Chop the spice paste ingredients and then blend in a food processor until finely chopped.

Checking out @lunecroissant #Rosberry was like the best journey into croissantland with the fabulous Linda @eating_with_chenwah 🤗

The theatrics was off the charts, a beautiful warehouse space, decked out with all the latest modern finishes and an open kitchen, great to see where all the magic happens. The entire experience was quite experiential and served as the perfect backdrop for a much needed catchup with Linda ❤️ It was hard to pick my favourite, but I was partial to Kouign Amann and the cheese & vegemite escargot🫶🏻

Here is something quick, simple and absolutely delicious you can make in no time for a gorgeous meal at home! It’s MY quick and easy fried rice, get creative with the ingredients for your fried rice. Today I have some chicken, barbecue pork, ham, eggs and some chopped shallots. Use day old / leftover rice as fresh rice tend to get a little gluggy when cooking a fried rice.

This is definitely something that is on my home menu every few days, i haven’t met a fried rice I didn’t love…. enjoyx

This visual story begins with a celebration of the finest artisan products in Australia. After two years on pause, with COVID testing the resilience of restaurants, bars, and cafés, it was a much-anticipated return to life—bringing together the very best producers, all in one place, curated by @twoprovidores. It was my privilege to be able to capture the images and voices of this special event. This is why I love being part of the vibrant culinary world in Australia

Coming into the shoot, I could smell the traditions of an artisan bakery—the rich tang of sourdough starters, the crisp, golden crust crackling just right. Every muffin, every scroll, every crumpet shaped by hand, made in small batches with patience and passion. @this.is.us.au has mastered the art of time-honored baking, and you can taste it in every bite. No shortcuts, just pure craftsmanship. I can see why every product is so good!

I had some leftover rice, so literally raid the fridge and crack on with making your version of ‘clean the fridge out’ fried rice. Throw all your chopped ingredients in a hot oiled wok, stir fry it, then add and egg and scramble. Next add the rice and mix together. Add some chopped shallots and a tbsp of soy sauce. Hey presto, your next meal awaits🥢

Today we have a king prawn fried rice…. Pure satisfaction!
