Happy New Year and a big welcome to 2010! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season with your loved ones and enjoyed lots of delicious food.


Things have been super busy for me and it’s only January! Last weekend I was lucky enough to be a part of the G’day USA celebrations. The event highlights Australian achievements in the United States. So along with celebrity chef Pete Evans, I put on my chef’s apron, got in the kitchen and cooked dinner for 800 guests at the Gala Black Tie event held at the Hollywood & Highland Grand Ballroom in Los Angeles. There were lots of famous people in the room and it was great to be around so many Aussies having a fun night out.


In keeping with the Australian theme this month and as we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January, I have included a couple of very Aussie recipes for you to try no matter where you are in the world.

Enjoy and Happy Australia Day to everyone back home!
