ALISTAIR WISE

Masterclass, p38

Alistair Wise is a pastry chef based in Hobart. He tried to make his mark in New York and London while working for Gordon Ramsay, but has ended up back in his home town whiling away his time in an old ice-cream truck and a bake shop with his wife Teena and daughter Tilley. This month he took one biscuit, broke it apart, and put it back together again piece by piece. “It’s Darwin’s theory of evolution applied to a biscuit,” he says.
