Speaker 2: What do you cook when no One's watching?

14
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: Basic stuff?

15
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Yeah? Look, there's a few sort of There's

16
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: a section called that I've labeled meditatives and handmade, which

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: is stuff that is going to take a bit more time,

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: but it's if you want to do that, you know,

19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: on a weekend or you know, said a bit of

20
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: time to do something that's kind of just taking you

21
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: into the zone.

22
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: But apart from.

23
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: That, what I've learned most in my sixteen years of

24
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: being in the industy tree.

25
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Is so different from what I how I popped out

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: of Master Chef, which was I think the name of

27
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: the show made me feel like I had to be

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: a chef. But what I am is a home cook

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: trying to teach people to beat home cooks better to

30
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: be better home cooks. So I've just completely I'm just honest.

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: This is just an honest book. It's how I cook.

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: And there's even like a what do I call it

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: a meltdown Rahmen?

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: I think you know, if life's getting too hard, that's

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: what you have, the meltdown ramen exactly.

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 3: It's incident noodles, but just pimps up a little bit.

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: So you don't sort of have things like vegemite on

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: Vita wheats or eat frozen peas out of the packet.

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: There's nothing, you know, shameful in there.

40
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Well, there is a section in there said I'm not

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: ashamed of and one of the things is chocolate for breakfast. Wow,

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty close to eating piece out of the back

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: of it.

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: How different would life have been for you if you

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: hadn't gone on that very first season of Master Chef?

46
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: Do you see that as the sliding door moment?

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely? But you know, I'm a pretty contemplative person and

48
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: I do feel like I would still have a really

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: beautiful life if it didn't happen. I see it as

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: that it's just different, not necessarily better.

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: So imagine if you won Master Chef would that be

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: a different life again, I don't think so.

53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: I think the result would have been quite similar. I

54
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: really felt like when I got to the final, that

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: was it, you know, like I really gave myself permission

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: not to win, and I didn't, and I thought, you know,

57
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: that was the Beasies already. I really was so grateful

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: to have gotten that far and I kind of knew,

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, I can, I can drive it from here,

60
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: like I'm used to being a self data. So yeah,

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: I was just in fact, sometimes I say I accidentally

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: say that I want, and it makes me She looked delusional.

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm not hoping the fact that I love.

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's how I feel. I feel like I want.

65
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: I think it's because when you're walking around with a

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: big chef's hat saying I am the winner of Master Chef,

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: I played above your like Connor McGregor.

68
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Part.

69
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: It's always great to talk to you. You can buy

70
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: what I cook when nobody's watching now from all good bookstores.
