FOOD Series: Annette Fear

Annette Fear was the first appointed head chef at the Spirit House, Yandina and now delights in imparting her knowledge and love of Asian food in the on-site cooking school, inspired by traveling widely in South-East Asia for over twenty years.

Not hidebound by recipes, Annette experiments with flavours and ingredients, encouraging students to interpret and adapt recipes to their own tastes and that of their family.

Using herbs and vegetables from local Sunshine Coast growers, Annette demonstrates how to create Thai inspired dishes with perfectly balanced flavours.

A must-see session for anyone interested in mastering Asian flavour complexity. Pickled vegetable salad, beef stir fry and a duck curry are all on the menu.
