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
