When two chefs set up home together, you would expect the kitchen to have all the bells and whistles.
Not Brendan Wessels and Lindsay Durr, the creative minds behind the eel cookies, 3D-printer meringue and other weird and wonderful dishes at the top-ranked d’Arenberg Cube.
While Brendan is very happy to eat a packet of biscuits lying in bed (an inspiration for that cookie), Lindsay does the cooking with minimal equipment.
“I never cook at home,” Brendan confesses. “But Lindsay is an incredible home cook.”
The South African pair moved to Australia, first cooking at the famous Lake House in country Victoria, before a move to Leonards Mill and then Chester Osborn’s extraordinary d’Arenberg Cube, one of the top-ranked restaurants in South Australia’s delicious100.
Their story features in part two of a new Advertiser video series called “Delicious Love Stories”, by video journalist Veathika Jain and videographer Emily Dawe (watch it above).
