FIRST PERSON

““I am Agathe Kerr ” … and I’m a patissiere Growing up, I loved eating pastries, but I never made anything. I come from a family where nobody cooks or bakes. As a child though, I ate a chocolate croissant every day for afternoon tea. It was easy, because we lived in Paris and they’re everywhere.

As an adult, I became an IT consultant for Accenture. I worked so hard and never had time to do anything like cook. I spent 15 years in that job, but my husband is Australian. I met him when I was working for Accenture in Sydney for three years and I took him back home with me when I finished.

In the next 10 years, we had three children and I got a bit sick of Paris. I really missed Australia. My husband is from Melbourne, so we decided we’d move there.

That’s when I thought maybe – since we were already moving so far – that I should change career.

It was just like that.

I decided I had to do something related to French wine, food or pastry. I didn’t really know which at that stage, but I went to an amateur pastry class with my mum and made a strawberry cake. I loved that it was so scientific and the result is so beautiful.

When we set our date to come here, I did a pastry school for adults. It was full-on – full-time for three months, every day from seven to six, baking, baking, baking and learning. It was also very physical, but I discovered something about me, which was that I loved doing manual work.

Then we moved to Australia. I started by doing a few things at home for the French people living around me and my daughter asked me if I could sell pastries at her school’s Christmas market. I rented a commercial kitchen and made only pastries and the croissants sold out. The feedback was really good, but funny: “Oh, the mini croissants were delicious!”

They were not mini, they were the French size.

The business has evolved since then, and I now have two retail shops – one at the South Melbourne Market, which has a kitchen onsite, and one in the CBD. We’re pretty lucky because we start at six, compared to other bakeries. We can do that because we bake onsite throughout the day. It’s good for our customers too – they love a warm croissant. ● ● shop.agathe.com.au ● Instagram: @agathepatisserie

COVER STORY

TV presenter Natalie Bassingthwaighte says her new hosting role is the best fit yet.

A

ustralian TV personality and entertainer Natalie Bassingthwaighte was at the snow with her family last year when a call from Network 10 came through, offering the gig as host of a rebooted renovation show Changing Rooms.

“I’ve always been fascinated with interior design and architecture and thought, how surreal, this is the perfect job for me,” Bassingthwaighte says.

Changing Rooms first came to attention in the mid-’90s with host Susie Wilks, who unveiled single room renovations between families and friends, then capped at $1500.

The new show’s budget is now upped to $20,000, and has two teams – often couples or friends, guided by an interior designer and tradie – make over a room and change more than colour schemes.

Home is where the heart is 6

Wo r d s

“My husband Cameron, who has known me for 14 years, looked at me and said: ‘Nat, I have never seen you happier than when you’re designing and moving stuff around the house. This show would be ideal for someone like you’,” she recalls.

Bassingthwaighte, who married her bandmate and former Rogue Traders member Cameron McGlinchey in 2011, is obsessed with moving furniture at their 130-year-old Edwardian period home in bayside Melbourne.

She describes the moment she purchased a brown leather couch years ago and snubbed her preferred mustard choice because she was talked out of the bright colour at the time.

“One should never ignore their gut instinct,” she reflects.

“The dismal brown couch didn’t make me happy at all. I went back and bought the mustard instead.

“I think many of us tend to stick to neutrals within a home and people tend to go for Scandinavian looks, which is fine, but when you create your home, your personality needs to come through and you can add pops of colour without overkill.”

emotional impact of the renovation; it does wonders for people.”

Bassingthwaighte, who has two children Harper, 8, and Hendrix, 5, is also busy running children’s clothing line Chi Khi. This year she will introduce a mother and baby collection, a basics range and a bumper winter assortment of goodies.

“As a mum, I was always looking for good quality and stylish pieces for my kids to wear and decided I might as well start my own label and see how it goes,” she says.

The bamboo-focused range is big on prints and wears its street-style cool proudly.

Bassingthwaighte first made her name with TV audiences as Izzy Hoyland on Neighbours between 2003 and 2006, and in that time also started performing with her band Rogue Traders.

She’s since starred in the 13-part mini-series Underbelly: The Golden Mile, the second season of

ilming Changing Rooms was a huge buzz for Bassingthwaighte, who incidentally has since become friends with one of the show’s interior designers, and scheduled a visit to see what further renovations are possible at her family home.

“It might sound corny, but there’s something awesome about going along for the ride with these couples and friends in this series,” she says of the new show.

“Seeing people’s lives change as well as their rooms makes fun viewing. It’s also about seeing the

The Wrong Girl, appeared as presenter of So You Think You Can Dance, and as a judge on The X Factor Australia and the New Zealand version.

The Sydney-born star has lived in Melbourne for 14 years with no plans to leave.

In fact, she turned down a contract in Sydney three years ago as it didn’t fit with her family schedule. But, she says, there’s still plenty she would love to do.

“I would love to be the voice of a cartoon character,” Bassingthwaighte says. “Having kids and knowing how much they’d love that would be awesome to do. I also know I will get back on the stage at some point to do more acting and film.

“It’s a crazy industry with more people out of work as actors, but I am just glad I don’t put all my eggs in the one basket.”

When it comes to self-care, Bassingthwaighte follows a routine of daily meditation, a yoga or pilates class and a policy of no TV in the mornings and no iPads when everyone is home of an evening.

She says co-parenting with a supportive husband makes her life easier.

“I know I am very lucky to have a great husband who is a huge help around the home. He washes, does the dishes, cooks, cleans. He’s better than me,” she laughs.

“While filming Changing Rooms I had Cameron take care of the family situation, and now he’s about to go on tour with Jon Stevens, and I’ll be taking over.

“It’s about discussing what’s coming up, seeing what’s possible between us and ultimately what is best for our family.” ● CHANGING ROOMS \ Catch the new season on Network 10

Fishing for zest and freshness

C

eviche is the perfect dish for summer.

It’s light and bright and packed full of freshness. The plus side is that it requires no cooking and you therefore will not need to even use the oven or stove.

Ceviche is a Latin American dish that originated in Peru over two thousand years ago. It consists of fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices and can include other ingredients such as capsicum, chilli, cucumber, coriander or tomato.

The acid in the citrus cooks the fish so be sure not to cure it for too long. The acid is usually added a few minutes before serving.

I’ve used snapper here as I like the texture of it but any other semi-firm white fish would work well too. Stay away from oily fish such as mackerel, sardines, tuna or salmon.

The most important thing is to get the freshest ingredients, keep the fish cold at all times and to cut everything similar in size.

Also remember to remove the bloodline.

Your fishmonger can do this for you and save you the hassle. ●

Snapper ceviche tostadas Serves 6

Method Start by making the salsa. Dice the capsicum and tomatoes into small, 5mm pieces and place into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

■ Add the chilli, red onion and leave it covered in the fridge.

■ In the meantime, heat some oil in a small pot. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil sits at approximately 170C. Using a 2-inch (5cm) cookie cutter, cut out circles from the corn tortilla. You may also just cut them up any shape you like.

■ Fry the tostadas until golden and crispy.

■ Just before serving, season sliced fish with lemon juice, and salt and pepper.

■ To present, place all the components onto a large serving platter and DIY assemble at the table. ● ■

Ingredients 1 red capsicum 2 tomatoes, cored 1 long red chilli, finely chopped ∏ red onion, finely chopped 1 packet of corn tortilla Oil for frying 2 snapper fillets, pin boned Juice of 1 lemon Salt and pepper to taste 2 jalapenos, sliced into 2mm thickness for garnish

Rami Malek WHO \ Movie

star WHAT \ Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody WHERE \ Academy Awards in LA on February 25

H In t e r v i e w b y

JA N E R O C CA

ollywood actor Rami Malek took out the best actor award at the Golden Globes for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Now, in his first Oscar nod, the 37-year-old is up against Bradley Cooper, Willem Dafoe, Viggo Mortensen and Christian Bale for the best actor award at the 70th Academy Awards.

Malek first discovered Queen via cassette tape, but it was Mike Myers’ Wayne’s World in 1992, which used

Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in the opening scenes, that reminded the world what really happened in 1975.

That song roared back up the charts to reach No. 2 in the US. “I grew up in the ’80s so Queen songs were pretty much on high rotation,” Malek says.

The ambitious actor knew playing the part of Queen’s frontman would be controversial, but was willing to give it a crack.

“I am just happy this film didn’t go sour,” he says.

costume designer Julian Day emulates the performer’s most memorable looks from scratch, including multiple pairs of black velvet flared pants.

Malek flew to London to learn to dance with a choreographer, play the piano and undertake singing lessons.

His character was months in the making. During these stages he heard many stories about Mercury.

“My favourite urban legend is that Mercury dressed Princess Diana in a motorcycle leather jacket to make her look like a man and took her to a gay bar one night,” says Malek. “Wouldn’t that have been something.”

He also urges fans to look out for a scene which didn’t make the movie.

“It’s when Freddie is writing A Crazy Little Thing Called Love in the bath and calls his assistant to bring him a guitar. He composed the song there and then in the tub,” says Malek. “We filmed it and I hope it’ll come out on an extended cut.” ●

“This is something that could have gone either way, but people have responded really well. This is only a small portion of Queen’s story, but I was thrilled we could bring it to a new generation.”

Costumes are loud and reproduced to perfection. Mercury’s visionary dress style adds to the film’s sartorial splendour. From sequins and topless looks, leather pants, Adidas trainers and Wrangler jeans, Mercury’s key moments are captured well.

He wore an iconic white butterfly sleeve blouse that British designer Zandra Rhodes made for him in the ’70s – apparently a wedding dress he saw at her store which she cut into a top. The exact silhouette is replicated in a lighter fabric.

Malek also wears a white jacket that belonged to Jimi Hendrix. “It was such a cool jacket to wear, knowing it belonged to Jimi.”

Olympia Valance ACTRESS

lympia Valance has been offered a role on every reality show imaginable, but there is only one she has said yes to – Dancing with the Stars.

“If I was ever going to do a reality show, it would be a dancing show,” she says.

“I’ve always wanted to learn to dance and it’s something I’ve always loved watching.”

She and partner Jarryd Byrne are training up to seven hour a day, and she is already seeing results.

“They don’t tell you how strenuous it is,” she says.

“I’ve got such a growing respect for these dancers because it’s really, really tough.”

Valance, 26, is one of the major stars of the Network 10 reboot of the reality show, alongside Denise Scott, Courtney Act, and controversially, Karl Stefanovic’s ex-wife, Cassandra Thorburn.

Grant Denyer and Amanda Keller are the hosts.

Ten has high hopes the show will connect with viewers once again. At the show’s peak on Channel 7, with Daryl Somers as host, it averaged 2 million viewers a week.

Valance’s star is on the rise; she is also set to film

the second series of Playing for Keeps in the first half of this year.

She plays super-confident WAG Tahlia Woods in the Ten series, which follows the trials and tribulations of a group players’ partners in footballobsessed Melbourne.

Tahlia’s one-liners and the fact the show is about WAGS made it a cult hit in Melbourne last year.

Valance said she wasn’t surprised by the show’s success.

“When I read the script I thought that if they do this properly and make it look good, it was always going to be a success,” she says.

“People can really relate to it.”

With a home in Los Angeles and Melbourne, Valance intends to divide herself between the two in the coming years.

Personally, things are also looking good for Valance; she is in a relationship with Los Angelesbased Australian actor Luke Bracey.

After both Dancing with the Stars and Playing for Keeps finish filming this year, Valance is heading to Greece for an extended family holiday. ●

Chef Matt McConnell and front-of-house pro Jo Gamvros are selling their Carlton cottage. The owners of Bar Lourinha, a Melbourne favourite for more than 10 years, and authors of globally successful cookbook Eat at the Bar, are moving to Windsor.

The single-fronted cottage they are leaving has been renovated to an excellent floor plan that maximises every centimetre of space and makes an excellent family home.

Two bedrooms, both with open fireplaces, and one with cupboards and one with a built-in wardrobe, open off the hallway, followed by a combined bath and laundry.

Next is the kitchen, living and dining area. An angled wall of glass opens to a decked north-facing courtyard at the rear with trees, a barbecue area, garden shed and door to the lane at the rear. The metre-wide walkway at the side of the house, often just lost space, has become another deck.

The living area has hardwood floors and is filled with northern light and sunshine. The kitchen is white with a charcoal backsplash and, according to Jo, it is “incredibly practical”. “It’s the kitchen that was here when we bought the house and it works very well. Everything is right.”

A staircase with boat-wire balustrade leads to the first floor. Rooms here open to a wide terrace at the front of the house with views across the rooftops of Carlton, and a smaller balcony at the rear of the house.

The house has heating and airconditioning.

The location, between Nicholson and Canning streets, is Carlton at its most attractive. For Jo, one of the greatest advantages of this spot, is that the regular Carlton Farmers’

Dr. Tony Stubbs Eye Surgeon

Continually delivering a beautiful & long-lasting deck surface.

Call, email or visit our website for more information. phone: 1800 DECKCLEAN (1800 332 525) email: info@deckseal.com.au www.deckseal.com.au

MB BS BSc(Hons)B Med Sc MS FRANZCO Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses.

That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
