Award winning chef Daran Glasgow is the Chef de Cuisine at Chill Dining & Wine Bar, in the world renowned restaurant precinct of Tedder Avenue, Main Beach, on the Gold Coast. Darran was at the Gold Coast Good Food & Wine Show on the weekend, with his team from Chill, demonstrating his delectable Thai beef salad, as well as tender crispy skinned quail with porcini mushroom risotto and truffle jus.

Daran has had an illustrious career working with many of the most influential chefs and finest restaurants in both Australia and the UK. Early in his career, he spent five years in England, working in celebrated Michelin rated Restaurants such as ‘Leith’s’ and ‘River Cafe’.

Daran developed his skills in the precision and consistency of fine food, and in particular honed his trademark pasta making skills, during this period. Daran attests to being both inspired and influenced by the styles of Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White.

On his return to Australia, Daran continued to refine his skills in the kitchens of both Brian Duncan, of ‘Level 41’ fame and David Pugh, chef and owner of ‘Restaurant Two’ and ‘Two Small Rooms’ in Brisbane.

In 2000 he moved to the Gold Coast as executive chef of ‘Restaurant B’. During the next four and a half years, Daran’s skill and passion put this previously small tapas bar on the map as an award winning restaurant.

Daran then moved to the Gold Coast hinterland, the green behind the gold, to work at ‘Songbirds in the Forest’. It was here that he became further renowned for his culinary talents by winning three awards in the 2005 Restaurant & Catering Awards.

In 2006 Daran took control of Chill on Tedder, where he delights diners with masterful dishes including his signature dish, seared Queensland scallops with angel hair pasta.

Since then Chill on Tedder as won a swag of awards. Just last year, in the 2009 Restaurant and Catering Queensland Awards for Excellence, Chill on Tedder was named Queensland’s Best Chef-Owner Restaurant, Gold Coasts Restaurant of the year, and Gold Coasts Best Contemporary Australian Restaurant.

Surf rescue crews helped more than 40 crew members of two dragon boats which capsized in the Ballina Seaway in northern NSW, yesterday.

However, Ballina police said they have since been found, and all crew members were safe and well.

Dragon boat racing has recently been identified as the fastest growing water sport in Australia. Dragon boats contain a crew of up to 22 paddlers, a sweep and sometimes, a drummer

Broadbeach was abuzz on Australia Day, with people picnicking in the park, boozing on the balconies and cruising in their cars. At The Surf Club, Kurrawa, the party was in full swing too.

Kraft Foods iSnack 2.0 Vegemite Cheesybite
What could be more Aussie than having Vegemite on toast for breakfast on Australia Day? Established in 1923, Vegemite is an iconic Australian brand of foodstuff made from concentrated yeast extract. Generally served on toast at breakfast or used in recipes, the sharp and salty flavour is not to everyone’s taste.

Suitable for vegetarians, the ingredients include yeast extract from yeast grown on barley, mineral salt, malt extract, niacin, thiamine and riboflavin. Vegemite is one of the world’s richest sources of vitamin B and is also high in folate, essential during pregnancy to prevent Spina Bifida

homemade chicken breasts Kiev Russian recipe
Chicken Kiev was not invented in the Ukraine capital, as the name would imply. The first recorded reference to this dish was in the Moscow Merchants' Club in the early 20th century, and it was later renamed Chicken Kiev (kotleta po-kievski) in Soviet restaurants. Whatever its origin, in the following recipe with step by step pictures, I demonstrate how to make this popular meal at home.
