On this week’s episode of the highly rated US TV reality show Top Chef, one of the chefs used Australian wattleseed to make Wattleseed Pavlovas, as mentioned on the Washingtonian website.
For those that don’t know the show, Top Chef can best be described as a combination of Gordon Ramsay’s Hells Kitchen and Martha Stewart’s the Apprentice blended together. Each week the chefs compete against each other in weekly challenges and are then judged by a panel of professional chefs including Tom Colicchio, renowned culinary figure and chef/owner, Craft Restaurants, Gail Simmons, of Food & Wine Magazine and Ted Allen, Emmy-winning cookbook author and TV personality.
Top Chef competitor, Richard used the Wattleseed to make the Wattleseed Pavlova, however I couldn’t find his recipe on the Top Chef website. It’ll be interesting to see how he did the dessert made famous by Vic Cherikoff many years ago.
American audiences are currently watching the 4th season of Top Chef, for those in Australia, Top Chef is on the Lifestyle Channel and they are currently airing season 2.
