Opting out of fine dining, he was invited to run café Morso on Jones Bay Wharf and became a registered buyer at the Sydney Fish Markets, where he selected fresh fish for services daily (right up his alley). He went on to work at Tetsuyas where he met fellow mate and Duck, Darren Robertson. Mark started his career in cooking straight after high school in 1999 and landed an apprenticeship under Klaus Huber, the executive chef for Bennelong and the Opera House restaurants.

When he’s not foraging or surfing, he’s in the kitchen cooking, fermenting, pickling, and testing recipes with his fiancée – meteorologist, journalist, TV presenter and food author, Magdalena Roze, and sons, Archie and Charlie. He is an ambassador for the Australian Cancer Council, Oz Harvest and sits on the judging panel for the Delicious Produce Awards. In 2012, Daz joined forces with like-minded mates at Three Blue Ducks.ĭaz is also the co-author of three cookbooks and writes for Delicious. He has appeared on MasterChef, Iron Chef USA, The Great Australian Cookbook and MKR. In 2011, Darren founded The Table Sessions – a guerilla-style dining experience, which was awarded Best Event by Australian Gourmet Pages. At the time, the restaurant held three chefs hats and was voted the 5th best restaurant in the world. Moving to Australia in 2001, his skills were further honed working at Tetsuya’s, where Darren rose to the position of Head Chef. Then in 2016 Andy officially became part of the group, becoming a co-owner of Three Blue Ducks Rosebery.Ī chef with a passionate advocate of farm-to-table cooking, Darren champions sustainability and using ethically farmed produce.ĭarren trained in the UK under acclaimed Chef Mark Raffan at the Michelin-starred Gravetye Manor. With learning being at the top of Andy's list he reached out to the boys at The Ducks and took a role down at Three Blue Ducks Pop Up at Falls Creek in 2013. After an 8 month commitment, locked away from his friends and family on some sort of rapid culinary apprenticeship on steroids, Andy emerged the youngest winner of MasterChef with a thirst to learn as much as he could about food. Andy read, he researched, he watched and listened and saw every opportunity as a learning opportunity. Once he was on the show, Andy was open to admitting he was by far the most inexperienced and weakest cook amongst the group. This is where Andy met Mark and Darren as they were guest chefs on the show. Lauren thanks Crave Entertainment for providing the review copy of this game.Andy was only one exam away from becoming a fully qualified Electrician, but knowing he wasn’t satisfied with being a sparky for the rest of his life, he took a dare from one of his good mates to enter as a contestant on MasterChef 2012. Lauren is a wife, a mother of two, and an avid reader. I am sure your young gamer will enjoy it as much as mine. If you are looking for a entertaining, educational, and inspiring game for the Nintendo DS, look no further than Winter’s Tail. I also liked that the story was read by the authors themselves. As an added bonus, the game features special accessibility options for children with motor skill and other physical challenges (I find this especially wonderful given the fact that this story inspires all of us to overcome adversity). Winter’s Tail is rated E and is recommended for ages 6-10. I also learned a lot!” Since most of his DS games don’t have much educational value, I appreciate that he is having fun and learning at the same time. I wasn’t sure how well he would respond to Winter’s Tail, but I can say that the game passed the test! When I asked him what he liked about it, he responded, “I like the dolphin’s story, and the games were cool. My almost eight-year-old son has a DS, but he tends to favor sports games. The games reinforce the book’s themes of overcoming adversity, resiliency, and hope. The game includes an interactive storybook based on the book and also includes a collection of mini-games. Now, Crave Entertainment has adapted Winter’s Tail for use on the Nintendo DS. If you haven’t read Dawn’s review, be sure to check it out. After her rescue, Winter learned to swim again with the use of a prosthetic tail. Several months ago, Dawn reviewed Winter’s Tail, the true story of Winter the famous dolphin who injured her tail in a crab trap.
