International Law

Last night on Masterchef, Alvin Quah was sent home after he struggled with an eight-layered vanilla cake created by Sydney patissier Adriano Zumbo.  Now that he is free to talk about his time on Masterchef he has launched his website, Cinnamon Pig:

The name ?Cinnamon Pig? hit us late one night like a bite from a Bhut Jolokia chilli (aka ?ghost? chilli). The two ingredients are almost universal and found in a range of diverse and colourful cultures. Cinnamon gives itself generously to both savoury and sweet dishes and really echoes the flexibility and generous worldwide appeal of the pig. It also brings a smile to my face and rolls off the tongue like a limerick.

They?re both a part of my childhood and cultural identity, they represent my direction and desire for food. Generous, original, simple, sensory, and most importantly, shared. The social aspect of food is innate to my upbringing and I try to combine these elements in the dishes I create.  Not always a success, and nope, it?s not supposed to be, it is experimentation, it is failure, but the crime of failure for me, is far outweighed by the crime of eating the same food for the rest of my life, so I?m caught?between a rock and a crispy maple middle rasher of bacon (thank you, Donna Hay!).

 You?ll find some recipes; recommendations and referrals to places that really deliver (even it is only pizza). The best way to see what Cinnamon Pig has to offer is to take a tour, lets face it it?s just not that big.

 Be inspired, be passionate, be brave!
