FLAVOUR STAGE HOSTS
FLAVOUR STAGE
We’re pleased to have special guest hosts, Reece Hignell and Steph de Sousa at Maitland Aroma 2019. You can find Reece and Steph hosting the Flavour Stage over the weekend. They will both be doing demonstrations and talking with local chefs as well as attendees.
SATURDAY
REECE HIGNELL Reece Hignell is a local Newcastle based cook and confident cake baker and loves making anything sweet. In 2018 Reece applied for MasterChef Australia, and before he knew it he was a contestant on the show’s 10th Logie winning season. More recently, Reece has settled back in his home town of Newcastle where he frequently holds cooking classes with The Essential Ingredient, Julie’s Place and ATWEA. Reece is also working on launching his own cake business where he hopes to cater for special events around the Newcastle region. STEPH DE SOUSA Steph de Sousa graced our screens on MasterChef Series 11 in 2019. Her warm, affectionate and motherly personality was infectious. Steph’s cooking is all about wholesome and flavoursome food that brings people together. Steph very quickly became known for her ability to think under pressure and Matt Preston fondly referred to her as ‘MacGyver’. She continued to impress the judges throughout the competition. One of their favourites was her beef vindaloo, which they claimed was the best they had ever had. 4
