Hiya, Howdy and Hello.
Welcome to the second instalment of the Eat My Street Online Cooking Club.
So excited to have you join me.
Previously I cooked along to Robyn Eckhardt’s newest book of Turkish cuisine, “Istanbul and Beyond.”
This month I am cooking to the theme of “My favourite TV Chef.”
It is a hard one, because I love a lot of TV chef’s including
- Gabriel Gate (the classic)
- Huey Ian Hewitson (the original)
- Nigella Lawson (the beautiful)
- Jamie Oliver (the heroic)
- Ina Garten (the reliable)
- Maggie Beer (the Queen).
To be honest, I think that as a proud Aussie, I can’t really go past Queen Maggie Beer.
Lovely Maggie and her verjuice.
I visited her farm restaurant years ago and it has stuck in my memory as being so graceful and peaceful and loved.
I have also spent many years watching her “The Cook and the Chef” TV show and I always stop for a rerun when it is on TV again.
She is so patient and persistent and is one of the few Master Chef judges that actually looks understanding and sad for a contestant when they make a dramatic mistake.
Plus she loves her Australian produce and her recipes always work.
So, want to cook along with me?
Chose your favourite Maggie recipe and write about it or take a photo or just let me know how you go?
You can comment here, or on my Facebook page or if you’re a blogger you can even send me your link to add to the post.
Cools?
You can find Maggie everywhere. But maybe start here…
or

Or you can buy her books from Dymocks Books and have it delivered straight to your hot little hand.
Happy Cooking.

Oh, I love her too! I always want to eat what she’s making!
Oh, good idea! I usually stick with the Gnocci recipe she and Stephanie cake up with on a trip to Italy (can you imagine the fun that would have been, by the way??) But I also need to work out what to make with verjuice – I seem to get it most Christmas’ but never really know what to do with it. This is a good prompt!
