What does it mean to be a celebrity chef? Have a successful restaurant? A TV show? A cookbook? All of the above? Well, not necessarily. In fact our cover star this week, MasterChef co-host and judge Jock Zonfrillo, has swapped a cookbook for an autobiography and swears he’ll never write one of the former, preferring to tell his story with words, rather than recipes. He tells us about the challenge of putting pen to paper to tell his, at times confronting, life story, shooting the newest season of the long-running cooking show, and his new-found love of Melbourne after moving here with his family. ●

Laying it all on the table COVER STORY MasterChef judge Jock Zonfrillo talks the new season of
the show, his move to Melbourne and his upcoming tell-all autobiography.
C
elebrity chef Jock Zonfrillo swears he’ll never write a cookbook. While many of his chef mates have shared their culinary stories through recipes, Zonfrillo has opted to plate up his own degustation by way of a new autobiography. “I have been asked so many times to write a cookbook. It just doesn’t appeal to me. It never has,” Zonfrillo says. “What I do know is that I will never write one. Many people think I am mad not to. I know just how much effort, time and people are needed behind the scenes for it. I just don’t think that format is for me. I prefer to tell people my story my way, and now I’m doing it.” Zonfrillo is calling Melbourne home for now as he returns to the city for his second season judging MasterChef Australia. In between filming the new season at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds alongside co-hosts Melissa Leong and Andy Allen, he is writing the tell-all book – a personal deep-dive into what has made him. Due for release this year, it covers all those personal highs and lows – career moves that changed his path forever – with plenty of detail about his now-closed Restaurant Orana in South Australia, where cooking with indigenous ingredients became an obsession that still carries through his not-for-profit organisation, The Orana Foundation. “I don’t have anything to hide,” Zonfrillo says. “I’ve been pretty open about my drug past [in his teens]; I made some bad choices in my life. But through this autobiography, a reader can ascertain for themselves how I got to be where I am and the reason I became a drug addict. I got some free kicks along the way and some struggles, too. What you see is what you get with me.”

The 44-year-old says nothing feels more like a pressure test than reliving the past on paper. “To write this book has been the hardest thing I have ever been asked to do. It’s been one-part cathartic, one-part emotional turmoil. Nothing quite shakes you up like bringing up the past,” says Zonfrillo, who lives in Carlton with his wife, Lauren, and their two children: Alfie, 3, and Isla, born last October. “It’s hard to reflect on your life, but I think the time is right.” The Scottish-born, classically French-trained chef began washing dishes at 13 and left school at 15 to chase his culinary dream. He rose through the ranks working for Michelin-starred chefs Marco Pierre White, at the Hyde Park London, and David Cavalier. He moved to Australia in 1999 to work as the head chef at Restaurant 41 in Sydney, eventually moving to Adelaide to open Orana, and recently to Melbourne – which he says is certainly ticking all the boxes for his family. The decision to be based here was all thanks to COVID-19, which made it difficult for him to keep travelling interstate (between Adelaide and Melbourne) while filming the TV cooking show with so much in flux around border closures. “There is still a huge sense of uncertainty around filming this season,” he says. “In previous years, the MasterChef hosts would go overseas for some shows, but now even interstate travel comes with a question mark. Shuffling a crew of 100 people when we do off-site filming means we can’t take that risk with that many people in quarantine should it come to that.” Returning for his second season – which started filming in November last year – comes with plenty of excitement, though, for the chef who loves to cook at home.
“We’re all about showing you relatable people who happen to be the best humans and cooks,” Zonfrillo says. “We have some people who have had decade-long careers in other fields come to the show – landscape gardeners, doctors, lawyers – who gave that up to follow their food dream. It’s admirable, and only something like COVID-19 could have brought that. “As a result of that, we see some of the best meals come from them. They are really focused on getting better and learning – that’s the biggest difference I see this year.” Having lived through Melbourne’s lockdown last year makes him an honorary Melburnian, too. “Melbourne has been extremely welcoming with open arms,” says Zonfrillo. “To see how Melburnians supported their local restaurants during lockdown was quite amazing. A lot of restaurants were saved because of that desire to order dine-in at home. I am sure the food scene will come back; it’s not a matter of if; it’s simply about when.” And when it comes to dining out, you’ll find Zonfrillo exploring Lygon Street, the CBD and Gertrude Street – with Marion Wine Bar and Cutler and Co a couple of his favourites. At home, he always has a lump of pecorino in the fridge and a black pepper mill at the ready when whipping up his signature cacio e pepe pasta dish for the family. “The kitchen is quite cathartic for me. I still really enjoy it,” he says. The father of four (with two older children from a previous relationship) won’t rule out opening a restaurant in Melbourne either. “What’s next? I don’t know the answer today, but there is not a day goes by [when] I don’t cook. I love telling stories through food. “Will I open in Melbourne or Sydney, will there be an Orana 2.0? Anything is potentially on the table. Never rule it out.” ● MASTERCHEF \ Starts April on Channel Ten ● 10play.com.au

elburnians love a weekend escape, and Daylesford – about an hour and a half north-west of the city – has long been that destination for many of us when it comes to spa and mineral spring getaways. But it's also the region that keeps on giving; proof that unwinding here can be as eclectic or luxurious as you wish. If the idea of stepping back in time appeals, then a retro fix at Sweet Retreat in Daylesford is sure to hit the sweet spot. This kitsch home accommodates up to eight guests and comes with four themed bedrooms: Peaches, Rainbow, Sweet Love and Tea & Biscuits. It's the ultimate sugar high without the calories and will keep the youngest of house guests ever intrigued, thanks to its playful palette of pastel colours and the scratch-and-sniff cherry wallpaper. There are giant Iced VoVos on the walls and a large, sculptural ice-cream installation in the kitchen. This

is a bright way to do Daylesford, where you don't take yourself too seriously, and its decor is sure to bring out the childlike wonder in you. The accommodation concept is thanks to the folks behind the Sugar Republic giant candy museum. Each of the rooms is inspired by classic Australian snacks, the two bathrooms are neon-lit, and there is a gorgeous garden for extra R&R and space.
There's no shortage of places to dine in Daylesford, but the modern Japanese restaurant Kadota is definitely a must. It is run by the owners, Daylesford local Aaron Schembri (formerly of the Press Club and Hajime Yoneda, a Michelin threestar restaurant in Osaka) and his Japanese-born wife, Risa Kadota, who met while working in Japan and fuse their love of slow dining with a focus on
seasonal and local ingredients. From sashimi to wagyu, oysters, pork belly dumplings and scallop ceviche, many of the herbs and vegetables that make the dishes are grown in their garden. There's a seven-course set menu that takes out all the guesswork. The emphasis is on the deep-rooted Japanese philosophy of omotenashi – honest service and honest food. ●

hile some people baked sourdough, made pottery or planted veggies, neighbours Jude van Daalen and Belinda Jackson produced a book during Melbourne’s long lockdown. Together Apart: Life in Lockdown is a beautiful snapshot of how people reacted in those crazy times last year when the world changed forever. The blackand-white coffee-table book chronicles how ordinary Melburnians coped extraordinarily. As well as publishing the book, the pair and their families have become close friends. In fact, there’s
now a stepladder on either side of their back fence so children – and parents – can hop over any time. “We worked surprisingly well together because we barely knew each other before we started,” van Daalen says. When the first lockdown was announced, portrait photographer van Daalen had to close her studio. Then she heard about some children who had taken out 72 books from the library. Next, a friend of hers opened an online yoga studio in her garage. “I realised people were doing strange things and I needed to capture this,” she says. Van Daalen collected stories and took photos from a distance. After a chat over the back fence, Jackson – a travel journalist who couldn’t travel – offered to edit the words. Finally, the pair decided to turn the project into a heart-warming book that

contains 60 portraits of people in their western suburbs neighbourhood, from families separated by border closures to children rediscovering rainbows. “We had no idea it was going to be such an allconsuming job – we really put our lives on hold to get it done,” Jackson says. The personal stories in the book are moving. One subject, Maryanne, talks about the emotional fallout from the restrictions, her children not being able to visit friends and the five-kilometre limit. “It’s the ‘corona coaster’! One day, you’re feeling really good, the next day, you’re clinging to a bottle of wine and rocking in the corner.” Another, Sarah, explains how her kids miss friends, school and exploring places. “The only adventures my kids can go on are those in the pages of the many, many books they read, including these 72 books.”
“I felt guilty because I was photographing all of these stories, leaving my children here while others were all at home baking cookies.” JUDE VAN DAALEN
Jude van Daalen and Belinda Jackson tell their neighbourhood’s story through 60 portraits.
Despite a lack of family support, Grace gives birth to her fourth child. “I ended up having a beautiful water birth, bringing a strong new boy into the world amidst this pandemic,” she says. But the experience took a toll on the authors too. A single parent, van Daalen’s children have lost their enthusiasm for school. “I felt guilty because I was photographing all of these stories, leaving my children here while others were all at home baking cookies,” she says. “I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’m a bad mum.’” Jackson had to deal with the loss of her work, her doctor husband’s stressful workload and her daughter’s loneliness. But she was amazed by the ways people coped, how neighbours supported each other and the pioneering efforts of her local IGA to introduce special shopping times for the elderly. “When I moved here from the Netherlands, something big for me was that people are very community minded,” van Daalen says. “It got even stronger during lockdown and people were really looking after each other.” ● TOGETHER APART: LIFE IN LOCKDOWN \ By Jude van Daalen and Belinda Jackson, $79 ● lockdownstories.com.au

ST LEONARD’S COLLEGE
The new 600-seat Leonardian Centre at St Leonard’s College is taking performing arts at the school to the next level.
S
t Leonard’s College in Brighton East has a reputation for encouraging its students to follow their passion. For many students, that passion is the performing arts, with students winning prestigious awards that recognise their accomplishments in music, musical theatre and drama. In January, the college officially opened the 600seat Leonardian Centre that will take performing arts at St Leonard’s to the next level. The customdesigned performing arts venue can accommodate large-scale music and drama performances, awards nights, school debating events and assemblies, and is built to exacting professional standards. “When we began discussing the development of the Leonardian Centre, we knew we wanted to create a wonderful place where young people could meet and share the culture of the College and where they could acknowledge their achievements,” says principal Stuart Davis. “We also wanted to build a place that would inspire students and that would encourage people in our community to gather to listen to great musicians or to watch theatrical performances.” One of the Bayside community’s first opportunities to appreciate the centre will be on Monday, April 12, when Australian tenor, David Hobson, will take to the stage. Hobson is a renowned performer in opera, musical theatre and television and will perform two concerts. “We’re very proud to bring this experience to the Bayside area. The events of the past year have made it difficult for people to get to musical events, and artists have found it difficult to perform. I know David is welcoming this opportunity to bring joy and pleasure to people again,” says Davis. The Leonardian Centre was designed by ARM Architecture, who designed Melbourne Recital Centre and the Hamer Hall redevelopment. The auditorium has a traditional shoebox shape, recognised by acoustic experts as creating the best sound quality. It includes a half fly tower that houses a professional rigging system for curtains,
I N S PI R I N G S PAC E S

lights and scenery, an acoustic control room and an orchestra pit. “The Leonardian Centre is a very high-quality venue. It can be a traditional theatre, but with the flick of a switch, it converts to a music venue with fantastic acoustic performance,” says Ian McDougall, founding director of ARM Architecture. “But while the centre is of the highest quality from a performance perspective, the space feels very welcoming, and there is a great sense of space, light and of something unexpected.” Sensitive design ensures the venue has a presence
without overwhelming traditional elements of the school, such as historic Harefield House and its distinctive tower. It features a wraparound foyer that can be opened onto a terrace for outdoor events and an agora space on the northern side with an outdoor stage built into the structure. The use of timbers and glass means the building is flooded with natural warmth and light, says architect Jeremy Stewart. “There may only be two students on stage rehearsing, but the room never feels cavernous. It has a sense of ‘wow’, but not in an intimidating way,” he says. Students across the school are already using the space, and the feedback from students, parents and the wider community is overwhelmingly positive. “We hope this centre becomes a place that inspires our students and, over time, we hope people within our broader Bayside community also benefit,” says Davis. ● SARAH MARINOS ● David Hobson Live in Bayside \ Monday 12 April at 11am and 2pm at the Leonardian Centre.
