I really didn’t know what I wanted to do when I was growing up, so when I left school I carried out a career ‘degustation’ of sorts - from a Lift Driver in a New Zealand department store to the Assistant to the Senior Geophysicist for British Petroleum in Libya and in the fields of light aircraft to being a Citizen-ship Law Clerk for the American Embassy and undertaking House Management at the Women’s College of Sydney University. So when it came to a career involving food it really just evolved. There was no grand plan - but moving to the Barossa when I married Colin and being surrounded by such wonderful, seasonal produce certainly sparked my existing interest in food to be taken to the next level. -MB
