Ruby’s Rhubarb

On 19 January 2010 our third child, Ruby, a baby girl, was born. Five days later I left Australia to fly to Spain to present at Madrid Fusión, one of the biggest and most important food symposiums in the world. I was the first cook from Victoria to be invited and it was a huge honour to be asked. When you come from such humble beginnings as I have it’s hard to believe you would ever be deemed good enough to join the ranks of the absolute elite cooks in the world on the stage in Madrid.
