  • The Contradictions of Australian Food Culture
    Terra Nullius, Culina Nullius: The contradictions of Australian food culture John Newton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Creative Arts University of Technology Sydney 2014 CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP I certify that the work in this thesis has not previously been submitted for a degree nor has it been submitted as part of requirements for a degree except as fully acknowledged within the text. I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student: Date: 1.11.14 2 Abstract In addressing the contradictions of Australian food culture, this project asks four questions. First and most importantly: how is it that after more than 225 years, we have no Australian or regional Australian food culture, nor even any evidence – through recipes and dishes – of its more tangible and visible vector, cuisine? Secondly: what are the consequences for a nation and its people of having bypassed this important stage in the evolution of a society? Thirdly: why in over 200 years living here do we eat practically nothing that grows locally but those fish, birds, crustaceans and shellfish analogous to European produce? And finally, if we do not have a food culture in the historical sense, what do we have? The second third and fourth questions will be answered during the course of the project. The answer to all these questions will require, firstly, an exploration of the history of European occupation of this land and its occupiers.

  • Of Life a Beautifully Decorated Period Home Proves That Good Taste Extends Beyond Gary Mehigan’S Kitchen
    PEOPLE spotlight Mehigan OF LIFE A beautifully decorated period home proves that good taste extends beyond Gary Mehigan’s kitchen. By Jenna Meade ary Mehigan’s bookshelf is lined with cookbooks from the world’s best chefs, Gbut it’s the work of his former MasterChef Australia prodigies that takes pride of place in his office and his heart. “We already have a MasterChef legacy, and that makes me quite proud,” he says, pointing out books from Julie Goodwin, Poh Ling Yeow and Junior MasterChef’s Isabella and Sofia Bliss. The adored TV judge is showing us through his Malvern East home, which he shares with wife Mandy, daughter Jenna, dogs Fergus and Molly, and cat Bellamy. His office is a room of favourites. There’s the big black leather chair that he gets comfortable in at the end of a day writing recipes or menus, and the treasured photo of himself with fellow MasterChef judges Matt Preston and George Calombaris. “This was taken a few years back, but it’s my favourite one of the three of us so far,” Gary says. He is warm and genuine, and has a friendly presence, which makes you feel immediately at home. The couple bought the late-1800s house five years ago, fulfilling their dream of owning a home of its era. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a formal lounge and a serene greenery-lined outdoor area with pool and sprawling vegie patch, which extends down one side of the house. There are raised garden beds with zucchinis, tomatoes, kale, wildflowers for Jenna, and almond, lemon and passionfruit trees.

  • 'Ordinary' Cook Achieved Extraordinary (Cookbook) Success
    Khamis Mastering the brand Macquarie University Susie Khamis Mastering the brand: how an ‘ordinary’ cook achieved extraordinary (cookbook) success Abstract: Since 2009, Masterchef Australia has been a ratings and marketing juggernaut. Through numerous product placements and associated merchandise, it has become one of the most lucrative brands in Australia’s bourgeoning food-related media. While contestants’ cooking prowess and flair for ‘plating’ are ostensibly central to the show’s appeal, Masterchef Australia also draws from the more general conventions of reality television. For instance, contestants inevitably display more than their skills in the kitchen; they reveal (some say contrive) aspects of their personal lives that render them more or less attractive to viewers. This article considers how the winner of the inaugural series, Julie Goodwin, fashioned an endearing persona that was both relatable and inspirational. Her ‘everywoman’ image informed both her television journey – from ‘ordinary mum’ to series winner – as well as her various forays into various commercial projects, not the least of which were best-selling cookbooks. Biographical note: Dr Susie Khamis is a Lecturer in the Department of Media, Music, Communication & Cultural Studies at Macquarie University in Australia. She has a research profile in the areas of branding, food cultures and media identities, and is the founding editor of Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies. Keywords: Food writing – Masterchef – Branding – Reality television – Julie Goodwin TEXT Special Issue 24: Cookbooks: writing, reading and publishing culinary literature in Australasia 1 eds Donna Lee Brien and Adele Wessell, October 2013 Khamis Mastering the brand Introduction Since 2009 Masterchef Australia has become one of the most marketable brands in Australia.

  • Misterchef? Cooks, Chefs and Gender in Masterchef Australia
    Open Cultural Studies 2017; 1: 125–139 Research Article Ellen Herkes, Guy Redden* Misterchef? Cooks, Chefs and Gender in MasterChef Australia https://doi.org/10.1515/culture-2017-0012 Received July 18, 2017; accepted August 30, 2017 Abstract: MasterChef Australia is the most popular television series in Australian history. It gives a wide range of ordinary people the chance to show they can master culinary arts to a professional standard. Through content and textual analysis of seven seasons of the show this article examines gendered patterns in its representation of participants and culinary professionals. Women are often depicted as home cooks by inclination while the figure of the professional chef remains almost exclusively male. Despite its rhetoric of inclusivity, MCA does little to challenge norms of the professional gastronomic field that have devalued women’s cooking while valorising “hard” masculinized culinary cultures led by men. Keywords: MasterChef, reality television, gender According to Charlotte Druckman “there has always been a strong distinction between the terms cook and chef” [24-25] that presupposes the chef to be male and the cook to be female. Housekeeping has often been seen as the primary social duty of women (Shapiro 12), and domestic cookery has been at the heart of their family caregiving roles under an industrial division of labour that has normalised men’s participation in the public sphere and women’s work in the home (De Vault). Despite their historical specificity, these roles have been naturalised by notions that men are by disposition hunters or breadwinners, while women are gatherers and nurturers (Meah qtd.

More about Julie Goodwin: In 2009, a record-breaking four million Australians tuned in to watch Julie Goodwin become the first ever winner of MasterChef.

  • Beyond the Thinking Used in Masterchef Australia: How Can I Promote Creative Solutions in Response to Design Problems?
    Christine Wintle 1 Beyond the thinking used in MasterChef Australia: How can I promote creative solutions in response to design problems? Christine Wintle Introduction Like my students in Home Economics, I was captivated by the television phenomenon that is MasterChef Australia. Millions of viewers watched amateur cooks demonstrate their culinary skills when competing for the title of Australia’s first MasterChef. This pervaded the classroom and provided a platform for discussion with students about how to create the perfect macaroon biscuit, how to identify the ingredients in an unfamiliar pasta sauce, and where to find equipment to create your own croquembouche. In the staff room over coffee, last night’s episode of MasterChef would dominate the conversation. The television series has been instrumental in getting more people interested in cooking, evidenced by increased enrolments in cooking classes both within my school and society, and the frequent use of ingredients and equipment by home cooks that were used by the chefs and contestants on the show. My colleagues and I used the concept of MasterChef to design a new subject for our Year 9 curriculum called [Insert Figure 1: Masterchef title with Learner plate exactly here], for those young cooking enthusiasts wanting to learn how to be a MasterChef. The draft proposal outlined a curriculum that transferred the structure from the series to a secondary school setting. Key concepts include sensory assessment, master classes, guest chefs to demonstrate specialised skills, mystery boxes and invention tests. The proposal was endorsed by the Director of Curriculum and the Head of Middle School and now affords us twelve months to write the course material.

  • Central Queensland University Donna Lee Brien the Rise
    Brien The rise and fall of MasterChef magazine Central Queensland University Donna Lee Brien The rise and fall of MasterChef magazine: An object biography Abstract: One of the most high-profile recent entrants into the competitive and lucrative field of Australian special interest magazines was MasterChef magazine, which ran from May 2010 until November 2012. MasterChef magazine was a component of a self- referential group of media products that spun off the eponymously-named television series in Australia which, premiering in 2009, itself developed from a suite of British television programs and associated media that has been expanding and morphing since 1990. This article presents a biographical history of MasterChef magazine, focusing on an account of the magazine’s genesis, development, growth and demise. It offers a preliminary survey of its covers, content and writers, and begins to outline its relationship to a range of other MasterChef related media, with particular reference to other publications. It also describes the role MasterChef magazine plays in the highly branded contemporary culinary media environment and suggests areas for future research. Biographical note: Donna Lee Brien is the inaugural Professor of Creative Industries at Central Queensland University, Australia. Founding Editor of dotlit: the online journal of creative writing, Assistant Editor of Imago: new writing and Associate Editor of New writing: international journal for the practice and theory of creative writing, Donna is currently Commissioning Editor, Special Issues, TEXT: journal of writing and writing courses, and on the editorial and advisory boards of a number of journals. Donna is widely published in a number of areas of non-fiction writing and writing praxis, and has been researching and publishing about food writers and their influence since 2006.

  • Tasting but Not Tasting: Masterchef Australia and Vicarious Consumption
    Tasting but not Tasting: MasterChef Australia and Vicarious Consumption Croquembouche, blast chillers, and plating up – these terms have become normal to ordinary Australians despite Adriano Zumbo’s croquembouche recipe taking more than two hours to complete and blast chillers costing thousands of dollars. Network Ten’s reality talent quest MasterChef Australia (MCA) has brought fine dining and “foodie” culture to a mass audience who have responded enthusiastically. Vicariously “tasting” this once niche lifestyle is empowering viewers to integrate aspects of “foodie” culture into their everyday lives. It helps them become “everyday foodies.” “Everyday foodies” are individuals who embrace and incorporate an appreciation of gourmet food culture into their existing lifestyles, but feel limited by time, money, health or confidence. So while a croquembouche and blast chiller may be beyond an MCA viewer’s reach, these aspects of “foodie” culture can still be enjoyed through the program. The rise of the “everyday foodie” challenges criticisms of vicarious consumption and negative discourses about reality and lifestyle television. Examining the very different and specific ways in which three MCA-viewing households vicariously experience gourmet food in their adoption of the “everyday foodie” lifestyle will demonstrate the positive value of vicarious consumption through reality and lifestyle programming. A brief background on the MCA phenomenon will be provided before a review of existing literature regarding vicarious consumption and tensions in the reality and lifestyle television field. Three case studies of MCA-viewing households who use vicarious consumption to satisfy “foodie” cravings and broaden their cultural tastes will be presented. Adapted from the United Kingdom’s MasterChef, which has aired since 1990, MCA has proven to be a catalyst for the “cheffing up” of the nation’s food culture.
