I'm a passionate home cook and brought my beer and 'nose to tail' style of cooking to a greater audience on MasterChef Australia, where I was best known as the hat-wearing beer merchant whose perfect roast pigs head both fascinated and polarised the nation. My aim in life is to bring the appreciation of good beer to a wider audience and open up peoples minds to the endless possibilities of cooking with beer. And what better way to start doing that but by a cooking with beer blog!
