Having @chefpetergilmore in the @masterchefau kitchen has brought back so many memories #flashback to my stage at @quayrestaurant .

Reflection is such an important part of growth. This has been one epic week in the Masterchef kitchen. Emotions are high and tonight will be filled with it. I have grown to respect everyone in this kitchen and I know, no matter the result…. Its going to be a hard one.

I hope that I can show a little of who I am tonight and show why the stories behind food means so much to me. Fingers crossed I can do enough to keep going in this competition. @masterchefau @channel10au #backtowin

Very thankful for this sensational Easter Sunday lunch shared with friends.
Food is the soul of who we are — and today, we feasted on flavours close to our hearts.
On the table: tangy, spicy Mee Siam, fragrant Otak, crispy chicken wings, rich beef rendang, silky steamed egg with pork, and flaky, golden Portuguese tarts. A true comfort spread that brought joy with every bite.

This is a must-know when it comes to cooking in my kitchen!

Forget the rice cooker—what you really need is just a sturdy pot with a lid, some beautiful medium grain rice, and a little bit of confidence. Please make sure you wash your rice until the water runs clear.

Cooking rice on the stovetop is a simple ritual that sets the foundation for so many amazing meals. From comforting congee to fragrant fried rice, don buri, rice pudfings to sushi rolls, it all starts right here. Once you master this, you’re not just making rice—you’re building flavor, texture, and soul into every bite.

Dang, gotta love a fragrant beef rendang and this my friends ….. is my best batch yet!!! Wished I made a bigger batch 🤙🏻

1 kg. boneless beef short ribs / beef brisket, cut into cubes
5 tbsp cooking oil
1 stick cinnamon, about 2-inch length
3 cloves
3 star anise
3 cardamom pods
1 lemongrass, cut into 2 pieces
1/2 cup thick coconut cream
1 cup water
2 tsp tamarind paste
6 kaffir lime leaves, (3 whole leaf, 3 very finely sliced)
5 tbsp kerisik , toasted coconut
1 tbsp brown sugar / palm sugar
1 tbsp curry powder

SPICE PASTE:
5 shallots
1 inch galangal
2 lemongrass , white part only
5 cloves garlic
1 inch
1 inch ginger
4 dried chilies, soaked in warm water and seeded
1 banana chili

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

Heat the oil in a heavy stew pot, add the spice paste, cinnamon and stir-fry until aromatic. Remove paste and add the beef, star anise, cardamon and clove and stir until meat is seared. Add the spice paste, tamarind juice, kaffir lime leaves, sugar, water, and simmer on medium heat, stirring frequently for 15 minutes.
Lower the heat to low, cover with lid and simmer for 2 -3 hours or until the meat is tender. Lastly add kerisik (toasted coconut), coconut cream, salt and sugar to taste and simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and save some for a delicious meal tomorrow.

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
