In troubled times, TV shows in which the whole family can sit down to watch are so treasured. Enter the rebooted Seachange, on Channel Nine. It’s the series that made now Hollywood star David Wenham (Diver Dan) a heartthrob, and in magistrate Laura Gibson, played beautifully by Sigrid Thornton, showed a strong woman could still express her fragility. The show coined the real estate phrase “sea change”, for city-slickers seeking peace and quiet, even if Laura encountered hiccups on the way to that nirvana.

Enjoy a moment of nostalgia with Sigrid in this week’s cover feature. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Glenn Watson” … and I’m a butcher at Rockpool Bar & Grill I never thought in my wildest dreams I’d be

working in a restaurant as a butcher.

It is pretty unusual. There’s three of us full-time in Australia and we’re all within the Rockpool Dining Group. Because this is a steak restaurant, the best way to do that is have your own butcher – do everything in-house. Basically I deal directly with the producers and then we dry age all our own meat, so it’s minimum 50 to 60 days drying. With dry ageing, the flavour’s so much better.

I’ve been here at the Melbourne restaurant for almost 11 years; before that I was in butcher shops.

I started off as a clean-up kid when I was 13, after school and on Saturday mornings. Mum sent me up to the local butcher shop to get some mince and I

saw the ad on the window. I loved it from day one.

You could muck around and earn good money, and it was fun. It still is.

I ended up finding an apprenticeship when I was 15 and left school. I started off in a butcher’s shop and halfway through my apprenticeship I changed to a family-run Italian small goods company.

I enjoyed making salami and prosciutto, all that sort of stuff. We’re talking in the early ’80s. For an Anglo-Saxon kid to be sitting down at lunch eating prosciutto at 15 and 16, it wasn’t the norm.

I’ve worked in kosher butchers; I’ve worked at David Jones. I’ve picked the jobs I wanted because I wanted to learn as much as I could in my trade, and this is the pinnacle of a butcher’s job.

As told to

L A R I S SA H A M ●

Ph o t o

To start my week off, I’ll make sausages and start preparing. I’ll look to see what functions are on, to make sure we’ve got enough stock. The spring racing carnival’s coming up and because we dry age we’ve got to plan in advance.

This job isn’t for everyone. It’s physical. You’re lifting and cutting. Some people think you get everything out of a box, but you don’t, we have to process it. We get over a tonne of wagyu each month, and that’s just the wagyu. We have anywhere from $90,000 to $120,000 of beef ageing at any one time, and at the end of the day I’m responsible for that. ● ● rockpoolbarandgrill.com.au

COVER STORY

M

any of us struggle to know we want to do with our lives, but Sigrid Thornton knew she wanted to be an actor at a very young age.

Growing up in Brisbane, acting was always in her blood.

“I wanted to be an actor probably from about the age of seven,” she says. “It’s a very hard thing to define exactly what drives a seven-year-old to such a calling, but it chose me, really.

“I started doing acting workshops from that very early age and it wasn’t something that I really thought about, it was something I just wanted to do and it gave me pleasure and made me feel happy.”

It’s been 40 years since Thornton had her first major role in a drama series, appearing in 30 episodes of the classic Australian drama Prisoner in 1979. She didn’t celebrate the achievement because, in reality, at the age of 60 she feels like she has been acting most of her life.

“I didn’t have a party or anything, as I have been acting since I was a child,” she says of the milestone.

“I have had the good fortune of having an enduring career.”

Thornton loves being an actor today as much as she did when she started out.

“I love it in a more clearly defined, concentrated kind of way now,” she says.

“I love the actual process of being in the zone and making a performance work. That’s a rather hard thing to describe, it is a Zen kind of state that actors talk about. It’s a very fulfilling place to be.”

Ever since that role on Prisoner she has barely left our screens – big or small.

Whether it is winning hearts in the The Man From Snowy River or most recently a gritty role in Wentworth, she excels at everything she does.

Thornton is back again in Seachange, reprising

Sigrid Thornton is back in Pearl Bay as the much-missed TV series Seachange returns.

A change of heart her role of the much loved magistrate Laura Gibson, this time on Channel Nine.

The original series of Seachange finished to much public outcry in 2000 after three years on the ABC. It has taken almost 20 years to get the fictional town of Pearl Bay back on the map again.

On this renewed occasion, Seachange wasn’t filmed in the Victorian town of Barwon Heads.

Instead, it was shot in the just-as-pretty spot of Brunswick Heads in northern NSW. And this time around, Thornton is not only starring in the lead role, but is also a producer.

“I have been working seven days a week, so I feel like I could probably sleep for month to make up for it,” she says.

If you had have asked Thornton a couple of years ago if Seachange would ever come back, she would have probably said no. “I hadn’t dreamed of it returning,” Sigrid says of the Seachange reboot.

“I hadn’t imagined that this would ever happen, really. So I’ve been very keen to take it one step at a time and not have any particular expectations, because it’s a long time later and this woman, although very much in the same spirit, she has had a lot of life experiences.

“It has been an extraordinary experience bringing her back.”

Wo r d s LU K E D E N N E H Y Ph o t o s S I M O N S C H LU T E R

Since 2000 the world has changed dramatically, but Thornton still believes there is a place for a nice drama like Seachange, amid so much doom and gloom.

“Storytelling has changed enormously since Seachange was made and there are many more complex stories out there to be listened to, viewed and heard,” she says.

“So it’s a different world.

“But I still think that Seachange is even more relevant, perhaps more than ever because the world is in need of a soothing influence.

“It’s a story that talks about connections between people and the loving connection between people “ The new Seachange also sees the return of John Howard as Bob Jelly, Kerry Armstrong playing his wife Heather, and Kevin Harrington in the role of Kevin Findley.

Brooke Satchwell joins the cast as Miranda Gibson, Laura’s daughter.

It was a joy for Thornton to bring Laura Gibson back to life, with all her quirks.

“I think Laura is an unusual central figure,” Thornton says.

“She’s not your traditional heroine.

“She is neurotic, damaged, a bit obsessive compulsive and controlling, but she is constantly looking to redeem herself and her heart is in the right place.

“She’s constantly looking to improve herself and the lives of those around her.”

Based in Melbourne with her husband Tom Burstall, Thornton is looking forward to some quiet time now that the first series, of hopefully many, has been completed.

“I got back home on Sunday night and my suitcases are still spilling out and unpacked because I’ve had such a busy time since I got home,” she says.

“I’m looking forward to getting my act back together.” ● SEACHANGE \ On Channel Nine, Tuesdays at 8.40pm.

ANDY HARMER \ YES CHEF

Performing under pressure Go back to the future with a tried and true appliance, from mum’s cupboard, that makes any meal sizzle.

D

Since then, it has become one of the most-used bits of my kitchen kit and has revolutionised my weeknight menu – and it can do the same for you. Pressure cookers are designed to basically do all the work for you, saving you time, energy and money while always ensuring happy dinner guests (or in my case, children).

It’s common for even the most experienced cooks to be intimidated by pressure cookers, but knowledge is power. These versatile machines can make everything from curries, to risotto and braised meat in under an hour.

Have you ever heard the saying, “it’s best to buy the worst house on the best street”? We’re going to take that saying and apply it to cooking food in a pressure cooker.

o you love your blender?

Absolutely need your food processor? If you’re anything like me and are considering hibernating for the rest of this winter, you might want to dust off your mum’s pressure cooker or consider investing in a brand new one.

The humble pressure cooker is only a few hundred years old and despite perhaps a small trace of PTSD from the whistling steam of the pressure cooker in the majority of my childhood memories, in recent years it has made a comeback in the cooking industry.

Speed isn’t the only advantage of pressure

Start with a good butcher. Instead

of buying the best cut of meat, buy a secondary cut like a cheek or shin (you’ll get all the great flavour of a premium piece of beef, but not with the exorbitant cost of a primary cut).

Next is what you do with that cut.

Throw them in flour, caramelise them in a pan then place into the pressure cooker.

A N DY H A R M E R PR E P S F O R A PR E S S U R E C O O K E R

LEIGH HENNINGHAM

From here on, flavour outcome is up to you. You could do anything from a master stock to the classic French technique of red wine and mushrooms. Red wine, chicken stock, bay leaves, thyme and pine mushroom are my personal concoction of choice. Pro tip: mushrooms are super important as they act as a filter and clean out the actual cooking liquor, ensuring we’re left with a beautiful sauce as an end result.

I’m as short of time as anyone else, and traditionally these cuts of meat would take around six to nine hours to cook to achieve a tender result.

Cue the pressure cooker. Speed isn’t the only advantage of pressure cookers; they also preserve nutrients and vitamins. By cooking foods for shorter lengths of time, pressure cookers preserve the nutrients better.

The extra high heat used in pressure cooking promotes caramelisation and browning on the food. The pressure cooking will open

the pores of the meat and enable flavour to be fully absorbed, bringing out the depth and complex flavours of the meat. Only a few hours are needed for beef, and it should look like some of us chefs do by the end of the week – slowly falling apart and in need of a good stiff drink. ● Andy Harmer is the executive chef of QT Melbourne hotel ● qthotelsandresorts.com/ melbourne ● Instagram @qtmelbourne

Brunch segues into pastas, classic pork and veal meatballs, roasted lemon chicken, and hearty salads – perhaps a wild rice and quinoa number tumbled with barberries and broccoli.

The essence of Italian food is, of course, its simplicity, and here, ingredients are the heroes.

TRAVEL \ PHU QUOC With its white sand beaches, rugged natural beauty and bustling night markets, Phu Quoc is predicted to be the next big Asian destination. The 48-kilometre long Vietnamese island, known for its pearl farming, pepper growing and fish sauce production, is now home to a growing group of luxury hotels.

Heaven on earth

With consistently warm temperatures, a weekend is best spent at some of the island's secluded beaches, such as Vung Bau or Khem.

If water sports are your thing, head to Sao beach where you can hire a jet ski, try your balance on a fly board or hop on a fishing boat, don a snorkel and explore the vibrant coral reef.

There are around 85 different producers of the ubiquitous condiment fish sauce, but the Khai Hoan fish sauce factory in Duong Dong is one of the best places to see (and smell) the traditional red wooden vats holding tonnes of anchovy and salt.

Pepper is another thriving industry, and villages such as Cua Duong, Ganh Dau or Cua Can show visitors how the piquant little beads of fruit grow and the ways pepper has influenced Vietnamese cuisine.

Pearl aficionados will be in heaven at Quoc An Pearl, where you can learn about the island’s pearl cultivation and buy the lustrous orbs.

Then spend time exploring Phu Quoc National Park, where forest, sea and mountains meet. The national park covers 50 per cent of the island and is home to long-tailed macaques, silver langurs, slow lorises and otters.

I

t’s four weeks before the inevitable mad rush to get into shape and lose a few kilos, as that summer body urgency kicks in. Trust me, I’ve witnessed this firsthand with hundreds of clients for the past two decades. It’s happening.

So with this in mind you have a choice. You can sit and wait, putting yourself under unnecessary pressure, or you can start now and get ahead of the curve. I know what my answer would be.

Let’s form some great habits that will carry you on a beautiful wave through spring and summer.

Here are my top five tips for things to do in the next 28 days to give yourself a springboard to keep yourself ahead.

BECOME A MORNING PERSON \ As the sun comes up earlier and the days get warmer this adjustment will get easier.

Push yourself to get into a good morning routine now and it will be much, much easier to sustain once spring hits.

You’ve heard the terms 5am club and 6am club – join them! Get up, get moving, start your day and I promise you’ll never look back.

DRINK THREE LITRES OF WATER A DAY \ I know this seems like a lot and yes, while your body adapts you may be racing to the bathroom constantly, but your body will adapt fast and the benefits are huge.

Dehydration often rears its head as hunger, so not only are you less likely to eat unnecessarily, you will enjoy better concentration and a more metabolically efficient body when you sip enough H2O. To make sure this happens, set an alarm on your phone four times a day with a drinking reminder until those good habits start forming.

By the end of the 28 days, you’ll be well and truly on top of your hydration game.

AUDIT YOUR PORTION SIZES \ In winter we

inevitably crave heavier, heartier and bigger meals.

Without even realising it, you may have been increasing your portion sizes over the past couple of months. It’s time to stop and check that has not gotten out of hand.

The majority of us eat too much, so if you know you are overeating focus on reducing your portion sizes by 20 per cent and only come back for seconds 20 minutes after finishing your meal – if you are still hungry. This simple trick works wonders.

ISTOCK

GET YOUR STEPS UP \ As the days begin to get

longer this is a great opportunity to use that time wisely and increase your steps. The ultimate goal might be 10,000 steps per day, which you can easily check on your health app on your phone, but the reality is you should simply focus on doing more.

If your current average is 2000 steps per day, aim

for 4000. If your current average is 6000 then aim for 8000. For the next 28 days, challenge yourself to do more than you have been doing. You will feel so much better for it.

SET YOURSELF A 28-DAY GOAL \ This will

completely change your attitude. Instead of drifting through the last month of winter, think of this time as a fantastic opportunity to get ahead.

This simple but powerful shift in attitude, with a clear goal in mind of where you want to be come the first day of spring, will be a game-changer.

Remember, this 28 days is all about forming habits so this goal does not necessarily need to be results-based. It might be process-based. For example – I will move my body 28 days in a row; I will drink three litres of water per day, every day, for the next 28 days.

Process-driven goals are very effective for forming strong habits. Let’s do this. ● ● 28bysamwood.com
