Kylie Kwong


Kylie Kwong, is a prominent Australian television chef, author, television presenter and restaurateur.

But before I say anything more about her, here is a confession.

1] I am an addict of Travel and Living Channel
2] I hate cooking

Now that I have already confessed that I am always glued to discovery channels by channel and hate cooking. You will wonder why the heck I watch cookery show. Now here is the hitch. I simply love Kylie’s style of Presentation. Though 99.99% she cooks non-vegetarian and me being a vegetarian it doesn’t make any difference to me, as there is no way I am going to try out any of her dishes.

But I simply adore her for the way she conducts her programme. Her way of narrating the recipe and preparing the same is enchanting. Her passion for cooking is infectious. I love the way she enjoys the most mundane things like chopping, cutting grinding. She will make you love the most ordinary stone grinding sound with her zealous ease. One will notice her careful selection of products and the proportions.The foodstuffs are fresh from the market and farms. So much so that you are tempted to touch them and feel them just as she does. The green of the coriander and the red of the tomato are so freshly picked that you actually want to participate in the process.

I have never seen anyone so passionate about her work. Her persona is full of life. Her confidence and her knowledge about her work are evident. I also love butterfly spectacles that is kind of her trademark. All in all she is best cook I have ever known.

All I want to suggest is watch out for her programme and get infected with her passion.

N’Joy!!!
