That made me think, Hang on, what type of dad do I want to be? I want to be the father my son looks up to. I want him to be able to say, "My dad can run with me and ride a bike with me." I don't want to be tired; I don't want to be that type of father. That was definitely my motivation. I see my personal trainers on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. The other morning we did a band run, which is horrible. Ryan put a big elastic band around us both and we ran along a cobblestone road. I didn't like him very much! Clementine has taught me "no excuses". She says, "Would you make excuses on the standard of a dish that you serve in your restaurant? No. Then why would you make excuses for your own body?"

  • 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.

  • 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.

    SUPERFOOD ME: NEGOTIATING AUSTRALIA’S POST-GOURMET FOOD CULTURE Katherine Eulynn Kirkwood BMassComn BMedia&Comn(Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Media Research Centre | School of Communication Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2021 Keywords Animal products Big Food Culinary culture Culinary media Ethical consumption Food culture Food media Food television Food System Exposé Meat Post-Gourmet Strategic Impact Documentary Super Size Me Sustainable consumption That Sugar Film Vegetarianism Veganism Waste Superfood Me: Negotiating Australia’s Post-Gourmet Food Culture i Abstract Australian food culture has arguably adopted a more health-conscious and ethical stance. This position is also reflected in contemporary food media, which is emerging in a post-broadcast environment. This thesis examines these developments in food culture and food media, positing that Australia is in the midst of what I call a post-gourmet phase. It argues that consumers are increasingly aware of the industrial food system’s consequences and that such concerns are manifested in the adoption of ethically and sustainably focused food practices. A key way in which the machinations of the industrial food system have entered mainstream consciousness is through a genre of texts I label Food System Exposés (FSEs). I argue that although these non- fiction books—like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma—and documentaries—like Super Size Me—have existed for decades, their recent proliferation warrants recognising these texts as a key genre in shaping contemporary food discourses. These changes are brought to light in this thesis through two methods.

    國立臺灣師範大學英語學系 碩 士 論 文 Master’s Thesis Department of English National Taiwan Normal University 美國影集的字彙涵蓋量 語料庫分析 The Vocabulary Coverage in American Television Programs A Corpus-Based Study 指導教授：陳 浩 然 Advisor: Dr. Hao-Jan Chen 研 究 生：周 揚 亭 Yang-Ting Chou 中 華 民 國一百零三年七月 July, 2014 國 立 英 臺 語 灣 師 學 範 系 大 學 103 碩 士 論 文 美 國 影 集 的 字 彙 涵 蓋 量 語 料 庫 分 析 周 揚 亭 中文摘要 身在英語被視為外國語文的環境中，英語學習者很難擁有豐富的目標語言環 境。電視影集因結合語言閱讀與聽力，對英語學習者來說是一種充滿動機的學習 資源，然而少有研究將電視影集視為道地的語言學習教材。許多研究指出媒體素 材有很大的潛力能激發字彙學習，研究者很好奇學習者要學習多少字彙量才能理 解電視影集的內容。 本研究探討理解道地的美國電視影集需要多少字彙涵蓋量 (vocabulary coverage)。研究主要目的為：(1)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，分別需要 英國國家語料庫彙編而成的字族表(the BNC word lists)和匯編英國國家語料庫 (BNC)與美國當代英語語料庫(COCA)的字族表多少的字彙量；(2)探討為理解 95%和 98%的美國影集，不同的電視影集類型需要的字彙量；(3)分析出現在美國 影集卻未列在字族表的字彙，並比較兩個字族表(the BNC word lists and the BNC/COCA word lists)的異同。 研究者蒐集六十部美國影集，包含 7,279 集，31,323,019 字，並運用 Range 分析理解美國影集需要分別兩個字族表的字彙量。透過語料庫的分析，本研究進 一步比較兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。 研究結果顯示，加上專有名詞(proper nouns)和邊際詞彙(marginal words)，英 國國家語料庫字族表需 2,000 至 7,000 字族(word family)，以達到 95%的字彙涵 蓋量；至於英國國家語料庫加上美國當代英語語料庫則需 2,000 至 6,000 字族。 i 若須達到 98%的字彙涵蓋量，兩個字族表都需要 5,000 以上的字族。 第二，有研究表示，適當的文本理解需要 95%的字彙涵蓋量 (Laufer, 1989; Rodgers & Webb, 2011; Webb, 2010a, 2010b, 2010c; Webb & Rodgers, 2010a, 2010b)，為達 95%的字彙涵蓋量，本研究指出連續劇情類(serial drama)和連續超 自然劇情類(serial supernatural drama)需要的字彙量最少；程序類(procedurals)和連 續醫學劇情類(serial medical drama)最具有挑戰性，因為所需的字彙量最多；而情 境喜劇(sitcoms)所需的字彙量差異最大。 第三，美國影集內出現卻未列在字族表的字會大致上可分為四種：(1)專有 名詞；(2)邊際詞彙；(3)顯而易見的混合字(compounds)；(4)縮寫。這兩個字族表 基本上包含完整的字彙，但是本研究顯示語言字彙不斷的更新，新的造字像是臉 書(Facebook)並沒有被列在字族表。 本研究也整理出兩個字族表在美國影集字彙涵蓋量的異同。為達 95%字彙涵 蓋量，英國國家語料庫的 4,000 字族加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識才足夠；而 英國國家語料庫合併美國當代英語語料庫加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識只需 3,000 字族即可達到 95%字彙涵蓋量。另外，為達 98%字彙涵蓋量，兩個語料庫 合併的字族表加上專有名詞和邊際詞彙的知識需要 10,000 字族；英國國家語料 庫字族表則無法提供足以理解 98%美國影集的字彙量。 本研究結果顯示，為了能夠適當的理解美國影集內容，3,000 字族加上專有 名詞和邊際詞彙的知識是必要的。字彙涵蓋量為理解美國影集的重要指標之一， ii 而且字彙涵蓋量能協助挑選適合學習者的教材，以達到更有效的電視影集語言教 學。 關鍵字：字彙涵蓋量、語料庫分析、第二語言字彙學習、美國電視影集 iii ABSTRACT In EFL context, learners of English are hardly exposed to ample language input.
