During all the lockdowns in London, the idea of ever getting back to Australia seemed painfully remote. I yearned to go back, and feared a future when that would never be possible. I spent the time at home on my own, writing my latest book Cook Eat Repeat.
It was great company and gave structure to my day, but by the end of it, I really felt the well was dry. I needed new input, new things; I needed to eat different food and have new conversations. So I was overjoyed when I found myself back in Australia for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in March and, again, for My Kitchen Rules in May.
