Celebrities who call Noosa home IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME HOW MANY INTERESTING, FAMOUS OR EVEN INFAMOUS PEOPLE CALL THE NOOSA SHIRE HOME. And how many celebrities love to visit on a regular basis. Seven-time world champion surfer Layne Beachley and her INXS rocker husband Kirk Pengilly think of Noosa as a “home from home”. We know they come up every year for the Festival of Surfing but it seems they also sneak up in-between for a beachside break. Producer/director Sam Coward and his family live on the Coast and continue to put the area on the map for stunning live theatre. In fact, Sam will stage the world premiere of his latest production, Diabolique, right here as part of the Noosa Long Weekend Festival. And be warned: he’s out to shock! But you don’t need your name up in lights to make a difference. Tewantin resident Marie-Louise Sarjeant recently

flew to Melbourne for talks with renowned primatologistt Jane Goodall, to enlist her help to save our endangered Coast dingoes, with great success. Conservation of a different kind is very much on n the agenda for a small group of local gentlemen who are working on probably the most exciting and advanced marine pollution clean-up project in the world today. All of this and more can be found in this week’s issue of YLM – Your Local Mag. Enjoy!

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK YLM may still be young but the feedback from the community so far has been positive, super supportive and humbling. But now we want to hear more, to help us make YLM your very favourite weekly read. For example, do you enjoy our chats with celebrities and would you like to see more? How are you going with the

crossword puzzle – too hard, too easy, just right? And what about lifestyle features, like food, fashion and beauty? What would you like to see more or less of? Let us know what you think by emailing me at isobel@ yourlocalmag.com.au

UPDATE

Rotary program could save lives ISOBEL COLEMAN

Sow a seed and watch it grow

Dennis Greensill was just 15 when riding pillion on an out of control motorbike left him paralysed from the chest down.

THAT’S CERTAINLY THE CASE WITH THE LITTLE SEED THEATRE COMPANY. Local Johanna Wallace had the seed of an idea, a dream, and she made it happen, creating her theatre company and offering fun, affordable acting classes and stage shows for children and adults. Johanna runs classes throughout the week and on Saturdays, in Noosa, Cooroy, Coolum and Palmwoods, for ages four to adult. She also runs very popular winter and summer acting schools, with the next one due to run July 7-11. Participants enjoy a fun-packed week of classes culminating in a stage show and, best of all for parents it is very affordable, with discounts available for siblings. To find out more take a look at Johanna’s website, www.little-seed. com.au or phone her on 0407 87 32 32.

Rob Wynne was riding his dirt bike, at an organised event, wearing all the right safety gear, and with years of experience. He hit a log and was left paralysed. Triathlete Darron Shields was on a training ride in the UK when a collision with a car changed his life forever. And their stories could make a world of difference to local youngsters, just starting out as drivers. Dennis, Rob and Darron, members of the Paraplegic Benefit Fund (PBF), joined other speakers at the latest RYDA workshop, held at the House With No Steps and a ended by students from Sunshine Beach High School. RYDA – Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Program – is a not-forprofit company that has developed a road safety education program delivered to the youth of our community through Rotary Clubs. Students in Year 11 a end a one-day event that delivers powerful messages from road safety experts, driving instructors, police, survivors of car crashes, drug and alcohol educators and motoring service personnel. In the local area, it is delivered through the Rotary Club of Noosa, Rotary Club of Noosa Heads, Rotary

Local Rotarians with PBF members Dennis Greensill, Rob Wynne and Darron Shields Club of Noosa Heads Daybreak and the Rotary Club of Cooroy. Rotary Club of Noosa President, Tess Alexandroﬀ, told YLM that Rotary subsidises the workshops, to make them accessible to as many students as possible. “But even so, at the recent workshop, we only got 60 students out of a possible 200. We’d like to see 100 per cent participation. We’d like to see a ending the workshop as compulsory,” she said. For Sunshine Beach High School students Isabella Lynden and Sean Pateman, both 16, the experience was potentially life-changing. “I’m certainly looking at driving from a diﬀerent perspective now,” Isabella said. “Hearing from all these people, particularly the guys in the wheelchairs, has really made me think about how I will drive and the precautions I will take.”

“The accident statistics shocked me, how they increase so much for P-platers. And hearing about how the police have to go and tell families when somebody has been injured or dies,” said Sean. Both students agreed that the workshop should be compulsory. “It’s easy to be over confident and show off in front of your friends when you’re driving but this has made us much more aware of the dangers.” For Dennis, Rob and Darron, sharing the darkest day of their lives must be quite confronting. “If I can stop a couple of people from ending up in my position, then I’m happy,” said Dennis. To find out more about RYDA contact Tess on 0407 377 210. For information on the Paraplegic Benefit Fund, see www.pbf.asn. au

GSLC students stuck on fundraising ISOBEL COLEMAN A clever fundraising idea at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosaville, is set to help change lives for hundreds of young girls in Bhutan. It’s a case of mums and daughters working together to help those less fortunate. In October this year Good Shepherd mums Karen Murray and Anita Bain will join with others to trek through mountains and forests for six days, to deliver educational supplies to school children in remote villages. Students at Good Shepherd wanted to help fund books for the Bhutan youngsters but it would have been too costly to ship the books overseas. So parents and students came up with a great idea, which is being co-ordinated by

Karen Murray and Anita Bain with daughters Millie and Lauren Karen’s daughter Millie, 12; Anita’s daughter Lauren, 11, and co-president of the school’s P&F Association, Nicola Heppell. Students will be invited to buy a sticker for $5, on which they can write a personal message for a student in Bhutan.

“The one and only book store in Bhutan has negotiated a good price to get the books, which saves transporting them from Australia,” Karen said. “We will take the stickers with us on the trek and then stick them on all the books when we arrive.” Millie launched the fundraiser at school assembly last Friday. She told YLM that it was good “to help out people in need because we are lucky enough in Australia to have easy access to libraries and bookshops.” Lauren agreed, saying, “It’s a great opportunity to learn and those girls might not get the chance otherwise.” Karen and Anita will be trekking with Coast locals Heather McNeice and Krista Waddell, cochairs of the Australian Himalayan Foundation (AHF) Queensland fundraising commi ee. Heather and Krista make the trip annually and have helped raise over $60,000 for the charity.

Bush care dig for St Andrew’s kids JIM FAGAN Thanks to Year 8 kids from St Andrew’s Anglican College, the western side of David Low Way at Peregian Beach is starting to look nothing like the weedinfested strip it once was. About this time last year 120 pupils turned up at the Peregian roundabout opposite Lorikeet

Park to help two local groups, Peregian Beach Community Association and North Peregian Conservation Group, plant 450 melaleucas, 100 wa les and 50 macarangas. Recently another 120 of this year’s crop of Year 8s were at it again, revegetating another stretch of the strip opposite Jabiru Street with 1200 macarangas, lomandras, wa les and tuckeroos and clearing out weeds like agricultural grass. The conservation group’s project manager, Rochelle Gooch, said the work of cleaning up and

replanting had another year to go and it was planned to plant a further 1200 melaleucas in what was very much a degraded area. “It’s wonderful to work with the kids and watch them coming through to take on an interest and appreciate the value of our native vegetation. This is a community eﬀort for them, a service opportunity. “We know they enjoy it. Occasionally we meet a parent who tell us the kids just take ownership of it. It is a learning experience for everybody and we’re building a very valuable

OCEANS NOOSA MEN’S BID TO CLEAN UP THE WORLD’S JIM FAGAN

It is less than two metres long and made from fibreglass and timber, but a tiny boat called Exocetus may be the key to ridding the world’s oceans, harbours and waterways of the millions of tons of plastic bags, water bottles, takeaway food packs and other debris dumped 24/7 into the sea. Just ge ing Exocetus, named after a Mediterranean sea “two winged ﬂying ﬁsh”, to this trial stage has cost Noosa man Phil Armstrong hundreds of thousands of dollars and most of his life’s savings over 18 years. The test vessel alone, due to its unique design, has cost around $13,000. It’s a multi-billion dollar vision and an organisation called Exocetus Foundation International has been set up to make it happen. Phil, 67, is the founder and director and he has on board three like-minded Noosa men – directors Kel Wearne, 68, and David Morison, 71, and supporter Andrew “Phippsy” Phipps, 54.

And their cause, they say, is shared by marine engineers, marine biologists, marine architects, a professor of medicine, an economist, various writers, a doctor of tropical diseases and many ordinary people with similar beliefs. Two universities, which have asked not to be named, are doing the tests on behalf of Exocetus and a Melbourne physics professor has assured Phil the li le craft will work as designed. Says Phil, “We want to use Exocetus as a test scale model to build a bulk carrier 175 metres long, ﬁ ed with large conversion units capable of converting debris into stored, usable

by products such as Biodiesel and various volatile gases. “It will take at least another 60 to 80 years but we see a future where there will be 200 of these giants, sailing the world’s oceans scouring up debris and other pollutants.” The Foundation is in the process of becoming a charity and is being helped in this by Melbourne lawyers, Ocean Legal. Says Phil: “We are negotiating with an overseas group for substantial funding. All I can say it is someone who is very philanthropic and has the environment at heart.” Noosa River was glinting in the morning sunshine when I met the four men from Exocetus to hear their story. According to Phippsy, who has run a ﬁshing charter business on the river for 22 years, Noosa waterways “aren’t so bad compared to some of the canals on the Gold Coast and around Gladstone Harbour where it is an issue. I still pick up 20 plastic

bags a week and there are hundreds of boats on the river that could do the same.” Next month a remote controlled pontoon which Phil describes as looking “like a catamaran barge” and has cost around $7000 to build will be tested on Noosa River. The pontoon is being built by Stuart Walker of Coolum Laser Design, an experienced model designer and builder, who spent several months constructing and refining Exocetus to meet the specifications needed to prove the concept would work. Kel Wearne Its principles of collection are similar to li le Exocetus and Phippsy will tow it up and down the river. “We might go up to Doonella Lake and everything that’s running out we’ll pull up,” he says. The proof of concept pontoon is destined to be a barge designed to operate in shallow waters, in estuaries, rivers and beaches and backing up the work of the ocean going bulk carriers. Says Phil, “The people in Australia who are most affected are the indigenous population. At Cape York there are some places where debris is piled up half a metre wide at the high tide mark and when you get a king tide it washes away then reappears on another beach. “A barge system that travels up and down the coast will probably take a year or more to go from Noosa to Thursday Island. The local people will tell us where the “hot spots” for plastic are and that’s where we’ll go.” It has taken 18 years for Vietnam veteran and former Burns Philp shipping company

What people are ingesting with food from the ocean is already changing their DNA.

branch general manager, Phil to get to this moment. “I got the idea when looking at a sheen of oil on harbour waters. I remember thinking it must be cu ing off a certain amount of oxygen to marine life but every method I tried to remove the sheen involved killing off everything. “I’ve now devised a system which is in the process of being patented. It will catch debris but allow fish, plankton, krill and whatever else to pass through. Basically, it is a collection system backed up by a conversion unit which converts plastics from the ocean, back into biodiesel, bio char, ethane, methane and propane gas which are then stored. This machine we are developing will actually remove particles down to the size of one millimetre. I’ve checked with engineers and they say it will work. “The junk we throw away is choking our great oceans and rivers and turning them into plastic soup. Hundreds of thousands of our marine creatures like sea birds, turtles and dolphins are being choked or strangled every year. We don’t have an inkling of the exact numbers. Just a couple of weeks ago a whale was washed up on a New Zealand beach with a stomach full of plastic. If plastic can kill a whale, what the hell is it doing to the rest of the ocean’s creatures?” What’s moved the other directors to become involved? Retired journalist Kel Wearne says, “What no one seems to really care about is the changing physiology of animals and humans. This is like a world crisis coming. We know about it but no one realises this because it is out of sight. It’s like a bush fire 100 miles away - it’s there but let’s not worry yet. “What people are ingesting with food from the ocean is already changing their DNA. Children are developing physical abnormalities. This isn’t about climate change. It’s about human’s life changing on the planet. This is a crisis for humanity.” Retired businessman David Morison agrees. He’s helping Phil because he wants “something for his grandkids to look forward to.” For Phippsy, the issue is clear. “Plastic oceans are a man-made problem and we need a man-made solution to fix it. It won’t be long before our oceans are so polluted we won’t able to eat the fish or live by the coast and enjoy the lifestyle. “Like David, I don’t want my grandkids to suffer just because I sat around doing nothing. If I do, I’ll go to my grave feeling I’ve accomplished nothing in my life. We all feel the same way. Just go down and look at any beach’s high tide line anywhere in Australia and you will see what we mean.” Exocetus Foundation International’s website www.exocetus.org is the platform for this long-term undertaking. Not only is it environmental it is also humanitarian, educational, medical, and research orientated with several peripheral facets to its goals.

Layne

Life in the fast ISOBEL COLEMAN

According to seven-time world champion surfer, Layne Beachley, there’s nothing you can’t achieve without determination, a good support system and plenty of Limoncello! When you first look at Layne Beachley you may think, there’s a girl who’s got it all! A world champion surfer seven times over, numerous other awards and accolades, a rock star husband, the list goes on. But when you look at Layne’s journey, to get where she is today, it’s all too clear that life could have been very different. And while success is a lot about determination, guts and a li le luck, it’s also about having the right people around you, and the right opportunities – the whole basis on which Layne set up her Aim for the Stars Foundation. Tenacious from the get-go, Layne was born prematurely in Sydney in 1972, and spent weeks in a humidicrib. At six weeks old, she was adopted by Valerie and Neil Beachley. And it was Neil, a Manly Beach lifesaver, who introduced Layne to surfing when she was just four years old, after she showed natural ability and balance on a skateboard. Layne entered her first surf contest at 14, turned professional after finishing high school and soon had 1990 World Surf Champion Pam Burridge as her mentor.

Could you get a scholarship? The Layne Beachley Aim for the Stars Foundation was created to inspire girls and women across Australia to dream and achieve, and to offer financial and moral support. Layne did it the hard way, working four jobs to fund her dream. But by offering a minimum of $70,000 in scholarships each year, the Foundation helps prevent others from facing such adversity. The next round of scholarship applications opens on July 1. Find out more by visiting www. aimforthestars.com.au

That could have been Layne’s happy-ever-after – but it wasn’t. First, Valerie died of a brain hemorrhage in 1979. A few years later, Layne developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, forcing her to stop competing for a while. The disease struck again in 1996, but Layne fought back, and ended the season ranked number 3. In 1998, at age 26, she won the first of six consecutive World Championships. “The Foundation is really a reflection of the challenges I had experienced and the knowledge that sometimes, someone just needs a li le help to reach their goal. It’s about opportunities,” Layne told YLM. “Yes, I was very tenacious and competitive and extremely determined to become world champion, but I needed a bit of money and somebody to believe in me to make it happen. “My life was affected by the people around me who picked me up and dusted me off and got me going again. My life would have been very different without them. When discussing equality between men and women Layne laughs. She spent two decades breaking down the barriers in her chosen profession. “Equality! Girls and women have so much potential but so many don’t reach it. It comes down to self-belief and opportunity and ability and being courageous enough to put your hand up and ask for the job. “Men and women are just different in approach. We think we have to be over qualified to get the same job as a man.” These days, one of the people who helps keep Layne grounded is husband and INXS rocker, Kirk Pengilly - a pre y good result for a blind date! “It’s true; we were set up by Jon Stevens!” By all accounts it might have been the first and last date, if it wasn’t for plenty of Limoncello. But that’s another story! “We are in completely different industries, of course, but we have mutual understanding and respect for each other’s achievements.” It’s no secret that Layne and Kirk come up to Noosa every year for the Festival of Surfing. “We also sneak up in-between, too, but not as much as we’d like to. We love it; it’s so relaxed, like a home from home.”

STORY

It's diabolical! But Sam loves the challenge ISOBEL COLEMAN Women and shoes – it’s the eternal love story. First there was Cinderella; then there was Carrie Bradshaw. Imelda Marcos owned more than 3000 pairs. And in producer/director Sam Coward’s world premiere of Diabolique at this year’s Noosa Long Weekend Festival, it’s a pair of shoes that leads to a ruined life. Diabolique is the third play in the trilogy that brought us a contemporary take on the infamous play, La Ronde, and the challenging and Sam titillating Erotique. Coward All three are the work of Coast-based theatre company, XS Entertainment, run by Sam and his actress wife, Xanthe Coward. Sam’s productions are well known for their challenging – some would say shocking – content and Diabolique is no diﬀerent. “It’s a multi-media burlesque cabaret that tells the story of one woman, through her 20s, 30s and 40s, played by three diﬀerent actresses,” Sam told YLM. “And the story is a diabolical one. It’s the story of a fresh-faced young dancer who dreams of turning professional. But opportunities are limited and before long she is drawn into the seedy underworld of erotic dancing.

“But while it is seedy, she grows more and more a racted to the lifestyle, the money – and the shoes. One particular pair of shoes, that force a decision she later regrets.” This dark tale is told through song, dance, and storytelling and, at one stage, live on stage, painting. “The music is fun; the burlesque is titillating. But beneath all that there are dark undertones that hint at the stories of Sally Bowles and Medea.” Does Sam like to shock his audiences? “Yes, I love challenging audiences. Theatre has lost a lot of ground Stephanie Brown due to the digital world so the whole Sam, Xanthe and co-stars Stephanie Brown and theatre experience needs to be Sharon Grimley. “I love that they have creative ownership of very diﬀerent to what you get the piece.

For the love of dingoes LOCAL ENVIRONMENTALIST MEETS DR JANE GOODALL

ISOBEL COLEMAN On an ordinary Thursday morning, while most of us went about our normal business, a very special meeting was taking place nearly 2000km away, that could change the fate of Australia’s native dog, the dingo, forever. That meeting, held at Melbourne Museum on World Environment Day, was a ended by environmentalists, farmers, Aboriginal elders – and renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, the only human ever to have been accepted into the chimpanzee society. The event was jointly arranged by The Jane Goodall Institute Australia, and The Ochre Project, headed up by Tewantin resident Marie-Louise Sarjeant. And while the humans discussed the importance of dingoes to the Australian ecosystem, and how the species could face extinction after decades of persecution, a pair of dingoes quietly padded around the room. YLM asked Marie-Louise about the event: WERE THERE DINGOES THERE TO MEET DR JANE? Yorta Yorta Elder Dennis Murray, his wife Ann and daughter Tegan, Dingo breeders from Lake Boga, brought two beautiful dingoes along as ambassadors. I watched Dr Jane meet Warrigul and Katrina and immediately fall in love with them. WHO ATTENDED THE EVENT? Dingo scientist Dr Arian Wallach, winner of the Eureka Awards 2013, presented research as proof of the dingo’s value for the environment and the trophic cascade, as apex predators. She explained her work on a ca le station where the dingoes are left to interact with the ca le without being shot, trapped or poisoned. Also joining us was world-renowned conservationist, Sean Wilmore, President of the International Ranger Federation, a volunteer-based non-proﬁt organisation, established to promote the role of rangers.

HOW DID THE MEETING COME ABOUT? My friend Natalie Houghton, CEO of The Jane Goodall Institute Australia, and I were talking with the founder of the Ochre Project, Jennifer Bri on Parkhurst, in New York about the persecution of the dingoes and Natalie asked if I would like to meet Dr Jane and highlight the dingoes’ plight. It took a year to achieve this. HOW DID YOU FEEL? It’s not often that anyone gets so close to someone they have admired for most of their life. I was mesmerised as I watched Dr Jane fall in love with Australia’s beautiful dingoes, seeing joy on her face as she sat down and interacted with our Australian icons. She asked about the dingoes in the environment and effects on native species such as the bilbies. Research has shown that the poisoning of dingoes has a deleterious effect on small native mammals, such as marsupial mice, bandicoots and native rodents. The research found that loss of dingoes after baiting is associated with greater activity by foxes, which prey on small marsupials and native rodents. As well, the number of kangaroos and wallabies increases when dingoes disappear. Grazing by these herbivores reduces the density of the understorey vegetation in which the small ground-dwelling mammals live. WHAT DID YOU LEARN AT THIS SEMINAR? Dr Arian and Dr Jane both strongly advocate compassionate conservation and the value of working to achieve a balance by seeing every side of the issue, encouraging the preservation and acceptance of dingoes in areas where they are most vulnerable. Dr Jane specified that efforts to educate people about the ethical treatment of animals extend to all, and that we must work in unity to bring education and awareness, so that our future generations can also experience the dingo in the wild. After all, what would Australia be without the dingo? Being kinder to dingoes ultimately means being kinder to many other species - including ourselves. Jane feels the next generation will grow up with a radically different approach to conser-

vation. Dr Arian believes the native-non-native divide is blurred and our job is to look after apex predators such as dingoes, allowing them to assume their ecological function. WHAT DID DR JANE SUGGEST TO HELP THE DINGOES? Dr Jane asked the Ochre Project if they could facilitate and create an event for UN International Day of Peace on September 21. The Ochre Project is now organising a National Day of Action for Dingoes on that date. WHAT DID DR JANE SAY ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE DINGO? She felt their future looked bleak, that it was tragic and she was saddened as they deserve to be protected and respected. She said we need to make sure that the dingoes are safe and, in turn, that the dingoes keep the populations of potentially irruptive species at sustainable levels. HOW CAN WE DO THIS? Through education, like Dr Jane’s Roots & Shoots program for children and the Ochre Project’s sponsorship program. Jane also suggested that we need to connect with wildlife managers, aboriginal people, rangers and farmers to encourage a more compassionate view towards the dingo and other species. We also need to push for their re-classiﬁcation as a native species. And we need to do this all over Australia, not just by state.

Retirement's not for me! DARYL PLANS TO KEEP ON ROCKIN’ ISOBEL COLEMAN

Imagine a pair of twin brothers. One decides to become a scientist; the other starts off as a tradesman but decides to follow his dream of becoming a rock star. Fast forward a few years to age 65. One has just retired; the other plans to keep on rockin’! “I can’t even comprehend the idea of retirement. I mean, what would I do?” So says Aussie rocker Daryl Braithwaite, still performing and releasing new albums some 40 years on. “My twin brother Glen retired a few months ago and I was astounded by the thought. Do you just sit around at home? Find a hobby? “We both come from diﬀerent areas, I suppose. To him it was a job,

to me it’s something I absolutely love doing.” Daryl told YLM. Born in Melbourne in 1949, Daryl’s initial success as a singer came with Sherbet, a band which forever remains in the history books of Australian music. Throughout the 70s, Sherbet produced 20 national Top 40 singles and was the ﬁrst Australian band to top the one million dollar mark in album sales in the country, with 15 albums and 30 singles. Summer Love became the highest selling single of 1975. And Howzat was not only a number one hit in Australia, but also achieved number two in England. Following the success of Sherbet, Daryl returned to the Australian music scene in a very big way as a solo performer in 1988 with the release of the phenomenally successful album, Edge, which spent well over a year in the national charts. Edge spawned four hit singles with As The Days Go By, All I Do, Let Me Be, and the gold

THROTTLE

THE BIRTHDAY BASH THAT BECAME A

Mopar legend WORDS & PICTURES

Well known Noosa family the Tattons have always had a passion for cars - especially the Mopar kind. In fact, it could have been them who made famous the old saying: Mopar or no car! Jim Ta on passed down his love of cars to his sons and it was Sam who, whilst a ending the

Mopar Nationals in Columbia Ohio in early 2000, stumbled across an idea that he was keen to bring to Australia. Static car shows were cool, but to have the use of a race track at a show would just be the bomb! So, in 2003, Sam hired out Willowbank Raceway for his dad’s birthday celebration – and it happened to be a Sunday. They invited close friends and Noosa Mopar enthusiasts and event founders, Jim and Sam Tatton

family to the event, ending up with around 100 people and 35 cars. And so Mopar Sunday was born. In 2005 the Ta on’s baby became a public event for all to enjoy. But there were rules. The show was only open to Mopars - with a show & shine, drags & dyno and plenty of family entertainment. And in 2008, Mopar released the brand name in Australia, at Mopar Sunday. Now in its 12th year, Mopar Sunday has become one of the biggest car events run over a single

day in the country. Last year’s show drew more than 3000 people and 400-plus cars. But one thing hasn’t changed. Sam Ta on is still the one who makes it happen, year after year, pu ing in a least four months’ preparation to make it the best it can be. And with this year’s new major sponsor, North Star Chrysler Dodge, it’s just going to keep ge ing bigger, a racting visitors from as far away as New Zealand, Singapore and the US. So remember, Mopar or no car!

VIVANT!

SACRÉ BLEU – IT’S A

macaron!

MACAROON OR MACARON: THE GREAT DEBATE Macaroon, or macaron, means different things to different people. To some, it’s a big ball of coconut, to others, a delicate, airy meringue. Both are delicious.

The ﬁrst macaroons were almond meringue cookies similar to today’s amare i, with a crisp crust and a soft interior. They were made from egg whites and almond paste. The name comes from the Italian word for paste, maccarone, and is also the word for pasta/macaroni and dumplings. Some chefs claim that macaroons can be traced to an Italian monastery—where they were modelled after the monks’ belly bu ons! Macaroons came to France in 1533 with the pastry chefs of Catherine dee Medici, wife of King Henri II. Two Benedictine nuns, Sister Margueerite and Sister Marie-Elisabeth, seeking asylum in the town of Nancy during the French Revolution (1789-1799), paid for their housing by baking and selling ng macaroons. The French word d is macaron. Over time, coconut was added to the ground almonds and, in certain recipes, replaced them. Coconut macaroons are more prevalent in the US and the UK and easier to make and transport than the fragile almond meringues.

ERIC PERNOUD OF MAISON DE PROVENCE, COOROY, HAS KINDLY EXPLAINED HOW A TRUE FRENCH MACARON IS MADE! Macarons or macaroons: that is the question! No, macaroon is NOT the English translation of macaron. A macaron is a delicate almond-based meringue made from angels’ tears by unicorn foals! Macaroons are made from desiccated coconut by your grandmother. So don’t ever make that mistake again, even if you heard it on Master Chef! There are many recipes for macarons. I personally use a Swiss meringue style where you cook your sugar and pour it over your whites. But it is a bit technical and requires special equipment. So let’s keep it simple with this French meringue style.

INGREDIENTS ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

95g almond meal 155g pure icing sugar 2 egg whites at room temperature 50g caster sugar

METHOD First I recommend you run your almond meal and icing sugar through a food processor to obtain a fine powder. This will give you a nice smooth finish on your macaron shells. Then sieve the mixture into a large mixing bowl. In a separate clean and dry bowl whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they soft peaks. Add the caster sugar, in three form s steps, and continue to whisk until the whites steps are very thick and glossy. It is at this stage that you can add the desired amount of colouring, using a gel de or liquid type of food colouring. Gently stir the egg whites into your almond meal/icing sugar mixture in three alm lots using a rubber spatula. Make sure it is well combined. co The Th mixture will lose some air and become quite loose but don’t worry, this is the way it should be. Put the macaron mixture into a piping bag with a 1cm plain nozzle. Pipe small round balls of mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper or silicon mats. To keep them all the same size, it’s a good idea to make

yourself a template of circles traced around a 50 cent coin, about a finger space apart on another piece of paper that you’ll place under the baking paper. Stay inside that circle so you don’t make them too big! Gently tap the baking sheet a few times on the work surface to help the macaron mixture settle and to break any air bubbles, then leave to dry for a minimum of 20 minutes. The surface of the macaron will become smooth and shiny and, most importantly, dry to the touch. This may take much longer on a humid day. I avoid making macarons on those days! Bake the macarons in a pre-heated oven. Now, that is the tricky part as ovens vary. I use a fan forced oven preheated at 160c and turn it down to 150c for eight to 10 minutes, rotate my trays and bake for a further eight minutes or so at 140c. At this stage it’s just trial and error. It’s good to open the door quickly to release any steam. The macarons are cooked when they feel firm and have risen slightly. They should form a ‘pied’ (foot) the characteristic of a successful macaron. Allow to stand on the baking tray for 10 minutes, and then slide the baking sheets onto a wire cooling rack and leave to cool completely. Do not be tempted to remove the macarons from the paper until they are cold or you will break them. Voila! As for the fillings, the traditional way is always based around either a ganache (chocolate and cream) or a butter cream.
