My passion for food began as a high school student.  Cooking good food and perfecting recipes to share with family and friends became ingrained in me. After high school I took a year off to save for my degree and found myself working three jobs one of them being a kitchen hand at a large Restaurant in Mt Dandenong in Melbourne’s East. I soon progressed from pot washer and became the deserts “chef” where I prepared all of the cakes and petit fours for the weekend trade. My passion for aviation however prevailed and at the turn of the year I commenced my Aviation degree.  My career as a pilot took me many places, living in various towns and cities around Australia. I was lucky enough to visit much of the World and was blown away by the different foods and cuisines so my passion for good fresh food was reinforced further.  Travel for us was as much about immersing ourselves in the food and culture as it was about seeing the sites!
