The 57-year-old chef returns with Season 2 of cooking show On Country Kitchen (starts Wed., Oct. 23 at 7.30pm; NITV) and tells WHO about the last …
… meal someone else cooked him that blew him away
I have a Malaysian-Chinese friend who cooks a mean chicken rice and a prawn sambal dish. … kitchen disaster he had A hot rack came straight out the oven and I accidentally fumbled it. In the moment, I tried to balance it with my open hand, which ended up looking like a griddle iron for a few days. … time he got lost Not really lost but definitely disoriented. I was staying in different hotels and rooms while travelling and have gotten confused by their layouts when needing to get up during the night. I’ve had times where I have woken up thinking I was somewhere completely different. … indulgence he had
Going to Europe was an amazing holiday I needed. I shopped, ate, explored and celebrated with friends on the borders of the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
… time he laughed so much he cried
I always fall on the floor watching Black Comedy. Steven Oliver and Aaron Fa’aoso are hilarious.
… TV show he binged
Definitely Deadwood – it’s gutsy and raw and casted perfectly. The recent movie picked up from when the series ended 10 years prior.
… injury he suffered
I tore my Achilles tendon and had to take over six months off work to walk properly again. … time he went off the grid
I was travelling through remote areas of Australia and there are a lot of places where you have no signal at all for days. It is really refreshing to switch off and relax.
