I'm very proud to announce I've been named Brand Ambassador for BELLA Housewares!

From June 27th-29th, 125 chefs and restaurant industry professionals – including Jason – joined forces in Southern California to ride 300 miles in support of Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign.

I love a good cup of coffee, especially when it's made with Milkadamia - delicious milk made from macadamia nuts.

The following recipe is from a recent catering event I did for the New Zealand Winegrowers. I had never cold smoked before, and for a first attempt, I was pretty proud of myself!

To help spread the Black Sheep Cycling message, each new season the brand produces a quarterly print publication called Obsession. As the Black Sheep crew puts it, "Obsession showcases what we love about cycling. The moments that have us on the edge of our saddle, the people driving change, and the photography that stops time."

From June 27th-29th I’ll be riding my bike down the coast of California, from Carmel to Santa Barbara. This is my third year participating in Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry, and I need your help!

Headquartered in Jason's adopted homeland of Australia, Black Sheep Cycling is a new kind of performance apparel company for the modern road cyclist. Black Sheep's goal is to offer awe-inspiring, high-quality garments that seamlessly unite function, performance, and style.

Jason enjoys working with chefs and brands that share his holistic culinary ethos, enthusiastic approach to cooking, and positive outlook on life. One such brand that Jason has developed a strong relationship with, and great respect for over the past few years, is NYC's chef-inspired, healthy restaurant concept fresh&co.

The 2nd annual Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry ride, which took place in June 2015, saw the participating chefs and culinary professionals pedal 300 miles from New York City to Washington, DC, followed by a cross-country flight to The Golden State so they could ride another 300 miles from Santa Barbara to San Diego.

And there goes 2014… Another year has buzzed by way too quick, but in saying this a myriad of life lessons and new opportunities have presented themselves! So let's go 2015, bring it on!
