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?" I'm very religious now. I lock my workouts in my diary and nothing will get in the way. It's a lovely little way to kick-start the day - you feel so good after it.

  • 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.

  • YOUR SAY: Masterchef Australia Serves up Mediocre Judges | Chronicle
    12/24/2018 YOUR SAY: MasterChef Australia serves up mediocre judges | Chronicle Masterchef judge George Calombaris Contributed - Network Ten OPINION YOUR SAY: MasterChef Australia serves up mediocre judges by GEORGE_HELON 2 12th Jul 2016 7:58 AM There should be a parental guidance warning given before MasterChef airs advising parents that of the judges appearing, one in particular lacks some of the cooking, table and dining manners that parents try to instil in, and expect of their children! Competition cooking shows like MasterChef Australia draw a wide audience and influence many aspiring cooks - both young and old - to not only become chefs, but to eat healthy and fresh foods. Children learn by seeing and doing; they mimic those social behaviours that they are exposed to without realising that the characteristics they are openly exhibiting are not necessarily correct and socially acceptable. MasterChef Australia judge George Calombaris is well-noted for his bad table manners and was even most recently admonished by the internationally acclaimed food writer and guest judge Nigella Lawson for eating his food off a knife. Calombaris appears to be lacking in rudimentary table manners, not even knowing the correct way to hold a knife and fork, he tears his food rather than cutting it, he eats with his mouth wide open, lifts his dishes https://www.thechronicle.com.au/news/masterchef-australia-serves-up-mediocre-judges/3060124/ 1/2 12/24/2018 YOUR SAY: MasterChef Australia serves up mediocre judges | Chronicle from the table when eating and he handles food with his fingers when plating and serving to fellow judges.

  • 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.

  • 73006 Perfect Steak Fact Sheet
    FOOD WITH MIGUEL MAESTRE THE PERFECT STEAK WITH GARY MEHIGAN How do you cook the perfect steak? Miguel and Masterchef Gary Mehigan have the answers. At Gary’s favourite butcher in Melbourne’s Prahran Market they get the low down on all things meat: What is the perfect cut to feed a family? How long should I cook each side before turning? All is explained and served with a side of salad! COOKING WITH STEAK Below are some simple steps* you can follow at home next time you set out to cook your perfect steak: 1. Before cooking, make sure the steak is room temperature – not too cold. 2. Rub salt & olive oil into the meat and make sure the pan is hot. 3. How long to cook the steak will depend on the thickness and what is the desired texture Therefore for a 2cm thick piece allow 2-3 minutes each side for rare, 4 minutes each side for medium, and 5-6 minutes each side for well-done. 4. Turn the steak only once, otherwise it will dry out. Always use tongs to handle steak as this avoids piercing the steak & letting juices escape. 5. To test if your steak is done, press the centre with your finger or tongs. If it’s rare the steak should feel soft, medium: slightly firmer and springy and well done: very firm 6. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with foil and set aside for 3-5 minutes to rest. This allows the juices to settle and the muscle fibres to relax, which ensures the steak is tender Source: http://www.taste.com.au/how+to/articles/77/how+to+cook+the+perfect+steak WHICH CUT OF STEAK DO I CHOOSE? Knowing which cut of meat to choose when at a butchers can be daunting.

  • 72033 George Calombaris' Salad Secrets Fact Sheet FINAL
    FOOD WITH MIGUEL MAESTRE GEORGE CALOMBARIS’ SALAD SECRETS This week the spicy Spanish chef Miguel Maestre meets up with Masterchef George Calombaris for challenge of another sort. Both soccer fanatics, they go head to head in a penalty goal kick off to decide who cooks lunch. George takes Miguel down and heads into the kitchen to whip up a mouth-watering celebration. The recently trim and taught Calombaris shares a simple and delicious salad recipe that’s a slimmer’s secret. GEORGE CALOMBARIS George Calombaris has been awarded more accolades for his work than most receive in a lifetime, and this exuberant chef is still just 33 years of age. Alongside old boss and fellow chef Gary Mehigan and food critic Matt Preston, Calombaris brings passion and fire to theMasterChef judging panel. Before joining the MasterChef team, Calombaris had been voted as one of the 'Top 40 Chefs of Influence in the World' by the Global Food and Wine Magazine. An internationally successful restaurateur, George owns four restaurants in Melbourne and one in Mykonos, Greece. His flagship Melbourne restaurant, The Press Club, was awarded The Age Good Food Guide ‘Best New Restaurant 2008’ with George named ‘Chef of the Year 2008’. It was also in 2008 that The Age Melbourne Magazine placed George in the 'Top 100 Most Influential People'. Along with his many restaurants, Calombaris has found time to write a number of cook books including Greek Cookery from the Hellenic Heart, and Your Place or Mine with fellow MC judge Gary Mehigan. Although Calombaris is currently flat out in the MasterChef kitchen, he also manages to find time to inspire his team and create new restaurant concepts such as the recently opened St.
