NORNIE BERO

chef and author

Treasure island, p104

Coming from the Meriam People of Mer Island in the Torres Strait, championing Islander flavours and native produce is the lifeblood of what chef and business owner Nornie Bero does. In this issue we extract her new book Mabu Mabu. “I’m on a mission to take Indigenous ingredients out of fancy restaurants and into every kitchen,” says Bero. “Now is the time to share the amazing food culture handed down to us through the generations for more than 60,000 years.”
