It’s about homes — the people in them, the music, the paintings on the walls, the friends who drop by. All the things we share. That’s what Homemade is all about. The simple dishes you’ll find in this book have come straight from my family dinners, 9781921 696664 lunches and impromptu feasts with friends. While I cooked, friends and family took notes and this book started to take shape.’ —Anna Gare ABOUT THE AUTHOR Anna Gare developed a passion for cooking from the time she could reach the top of the kitchen bench. She spent her teens and early twenties performing in an all-girl band, the Jam Tarts, and cooked in restaurants to support her rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. When it came time for a change, Anna established Deluxe Catering, which became one of Perth’s most successful catering companies. Anna is now a judge and mentor on Network Ten’s Junior MasterChef Australia.

    MEDIA RELEASE 13 July 2015 THE ORIGINAL ROCKSTAR CHEF TO HEADLINE THIS YEAR’S MARGARET RIVER GOURMET ESCAPE FESTIVAL Margaret River Gourmet Escape presented by Audi 2015 is set to be bigger than ever before, with the announcement of international headline chef, the ‘Godfather of modern cooking’, Marco PiErrE WhitE.

Tickets go on sale at midday on Tuesday 28th July (AWST). Marco has built an empire of London restaurants and was the youngest chef to win three Michelin stars and this year celebrates the 25th anniversary of his cookbook, White Heat, “the coolest cookbook ever written”.

  • Anna Gare‟S Audition for a Live Cooking Segment on Channel Seven‟S Perth at Five Was Memorable Brutal
    Anna Gare Profile Copyright Sarah Szabo 2010. Take a tomato, bread, a rolling camera and what do you have? Anna Gare‟s audition for a live cooking segment on channel seven‟s Perth at Five was memorable brutal. The fact that she made a tomato tart whilst quipping that all she needed was a little basil, as co presenter Basil Zempilas waited in the wings, demonstrates what separates a potential celebrity chef from the rest of us. Anna got the gig and it was the start of a whole new on-camera career that combined a couple of her very old passions – entertaining and cooking. As singer and percussionist of 80s all girl band, The Jam Tarts, Anna along with sister Sophie, was performing live from the age of 13. At age 15 there were three or four local gigs a week, which led to interstate gigs, support tours with international artists and a question that many parents dread – what does algebra have to do with my life anyway? Work experience at Kim‟s Bar and Grill in Cottesloe had planted a seed and for the next ten years restaurant work and performing was a good fit. Along the way one of the international artists, writer and comedian Ben Elton married Sophie, Anna married a fellow Perth musician and had two children, started a successful catering company, recently remarried former Australian and NBA basketball star Luc Longley and let‟s get back to the tomato tart – it‟s pivotal. It very nearly never got made. Anna initially turned down the offer to audition for Perth at Five for many reasons (some of them even valid) until bro-in-law Ben got on the phone with some choice admonitions and convinced her to go for it.

  • 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.
