One of Australia's influential chefs, rodio hosts and food authors, best know for his cooking segments on Better Homes and Gardens TV and radio shows.

"I (and a lot of other people) am trying to eat more legumes for health - hence the beans with the carnitas - and to be able to do them from dried in just 25 minutes is incredible. No soaking, no time wasted. I'm really a major fan of the Fast Slow Cooker."
