Paddington, Sydney, NSW

This was a totally unique property that had four blocks of land that needed upgrading from an outdated renovation. I wanted to make it feel contemporary while keeping its classical elegance.

Santa Loves Australia

I love children’s books and I had so much fun creating this Christmas story with artist Luke Sciberras.

Louie and Snippy SAVE THE SEA

This is a story I wanted to write about a boy and his dog who loves the ocean and together they go on an incredible underwater journey.

Obsessive Creative

This coffee table book is autobiographical and charts so many chapters of my life.

MAKING OUR OLIVE OIL

Every late October or early November, we harvest the olives at our home in Puglia, which is surrounded by olive groves.

Avoca, Southern Highlands NSW

This property had a grand style – built from old wooden beams and pillars from Darling Harbour jetty. Well, that that was half of the house. The other half was built some years later not in keeping with the original rustic style.

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI

I love Luciano Pavarotti and this is the song of Naples…

READ ALL ABOUT IT: SANTA LOVES AUSTRALIA

I have always loved reading, there is nothing to beat the powerful, magical world that a good book provides.

PODCAST MUSINGS

If you have time to spare, I have now done three podcasts. They really are meanderings and thoughts about life, my learnings.

GIVING AS GOOD AS YOU GET

I have always believed in supporting people. At the beginning of Masterchef we were all invited to choose a charity and so I decided to work with Hope Delivery.
