Mindy Woods draws inspiration from RAAF Chef...

Mindy Woods draws inspiration from RAAF Chef
Above: RAAF WOFF Gary Woods congratulates daughter Mindy for making it into the top four on this year s Masterchef TV series. WOFF Woods said a family posting to RAAF Base Butterworth in Malaysia in the early 1990s particulary influenced daughter Mindy s love of Asian cuisine. Living in Butterworth made us aware of the fantastic food available in Malaysia in Thailand and we fell in love with it, WOFF Woods said. My wife and I taught all three of our children at a young age to cook various types of food, with Asian our favourite. Mindy, a physiotherapist from Queensland, made it into the top four during the finals of the popular TV show. WOFF Woods was invited onto the show in the lead up to the final week. When Mindy was given the dish of the day and put into the top six, I was the proudest Dad. My wife Brenda, who was in the background, was the proudest Mum as well, he said. When the program began, WOFF Woods was deployed at Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates. Now I guess it s our turn to get cooking lessons from Mindy. We ve already received some great tips and recipes from her since she s been on Masterchef, and we can t wait to see where her culinary skills take her. Mindy plans to gain experience on the Sydney restaurant scene before returning to Brisbane to open an Asian-style wine bar. Interview in IpswichLife Articles

Masterchef LIVE wentworth Courier Article with Mindy

Chef Mitch Orr from Buzo in Paddington, chef Darren Robertson from Three Blue Ducks in Bronte, MasterChef 2012 contestant Mindy Woods and fellow Three Blue Ducks chef Shannon Debreceny are just some of the guests at this weekend's MasterChef Live at the Hordern Pavilion. JOHN APPLEYARD..


FROM making the perfect pasta to shucking oysters, this weekend some of Australia's best chefs will be at Moore Park to show you how it's done.
MasterChef Live kicks off this Friday in what is shaping up as a food lover's paradise.
In its third year, the event comes on the back of a year when interest in food, cooking and restaurants is booming.
Three Blue Ducks chefs Darren Robertson and Shannon Debreceny and Buzo's Mitch Orr are some of the chefs who will be on hand to share their skills.
2012 MasterChef contestant Mindy Will  also host several segments.

She said the public's growing interest in food was because of an increased awareness of organic and sustainable eating.
"It's getting back to grass roots of what food is about. It's not only enriching for our bodies but for our soul," she said.
"Food is one of these things which unites everyone in the world.
"People are being so creative about food; they don't just want to eat processed products."
Robertson, Debreceny and Orr agreed.
"It's about not doing too much with what you have," Debreceny said.
The trio agreed it was a large reason why eastern suburbs residents were so loyal to their restaurants.
"You've got to stick to what you're doing and do it well, otherwise you'll scare away your audience," Robertson said.
MASTERCHEF LIVE
When: October 5-7
Where: Hordern Pavilion, Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park

Mindy and Julia's Roman Seafood Stew

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2kg ripe tomatoes
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 red onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 8 whole red mullet (100g each), cleaned
• 8 scampi
• 16 scampettini (baby scampi)
• 20 mussels
• 30 clams
• 1 loaf pugliese bread (crusty Italian loaf), sliced
• 1 garlic clove, halved
• 2 lemons, rind finely grated
• 250ml-300ml white wine

Parsley and garlic oil

• 2 bunchesflat-leaf parsley
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 200ml olive oil

Method: Preparation: 25 minutes
Cooking: 50 minutes

1. Cut a cross in base of each tomato then place in a large pan, cover with boiling water and stand 3 minutes. Drain tomatoes. Peel, quarter and deseed tomatoes, roughly chop.

2. Cover base of a large saucepan with oil, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add tomatoes and 2 whole mullet and simmer gently for 10 minutes until tender.

3. Fillet and pin-bone the remaining mullet. Prepare the scampi and scampettini by shelling the mid- section, leaving the heads and tails intact. Reserve some of the front claws for presentation. De-beard and scrub mussels and purge the clams.

4. Add the scampi and scampettini shells to the tomato sauce, simmer 5 minutes, adding a little water if necessary.

5. For the parsley and garlic oil; remove the leaves from the parsley and blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and pat dry. Blanch the garlic in boiling water for 1 minute, drain and pat dry. Combine parsley, 2 of the garlic cloves and oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve. Taste oil and adjust seasoning, adding more garlic if needed.

6. Rub both sides bread with oil and char-grill. While hot rub with cut side of garlic and sprinkle with lemon rind.

7. In a deep frying pan with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the mussels, pour in the wine and toss quickly. Cover and cook 1 minute until shells begin to open, add the clams add the scampi claws. Cover and cook 1-2 minutes, remove from the heat. Strain the cooking liquid into the tomato mixture, set the seafood aside. Remove the mullet and shells from the tomato sauce, season.

8. Heat oil in a large frying pan, pan fry the scampi, scampettini and mullet fillets. Toss the tomato sauce through the mussels and claws and ladle into bowls. Top with scampi, scampettini and mullet. Spoon over parsley and garlic oil and serve with bread.

Tip: always use the freshest and best seafood possible and super- ripe tomatoes. :)
