A few weeks ago I made my television debut on Vasili’s Garden to Kitchen show. Vasili owns a gardening centre in Coburg, the suburb where my studio is. He has kindly taken on some of my books in his store. As away to help me promote my book and get the book out to a wider audience, Vasili suggested I make an appearance on his show. Well I was both excited and apprehensive at the thought of being filmed. I hate the sound of my voice on a recording let alone how awkward I’m sure I would appear. However I decided if the world gives you an opportunity you have to accept and throw yourself into it. I mean whats the worst that could happen, I could just look like a fool, but hey does that really matter.
So about 3 weeks ago I went down to his gardening centre on a beautiful spring day and we shot my very first cooking demo. It was a lot of fun and the whole team put me at ease. Vasili walked me through the whole thing and just asked me some questions as I made a lemon slice, a recipe from my book. It aired on TV about 2 weeks ago, on Channel 31. I haven’t watched it and don’t intend to as me being me, I will pick myself to pieces. If ever asked to do another, I would probably chicken out. So I don’t really know how it went, other than what my sister told me. Maybe one day I will dig up the nerve to watch it but for now, I will just let it be. You guys can however find it here http://www.c31.org.au/schedule/view/episode/131079, thats the link my sister sent me after she watched it so if it doesn’t work for any reason, we will just blame kush 🙂
Quite a few people who went to the cake bake and sweet show the other week had seen it and come up and said hi, they said it was really good. So that made me feel a bit embarrassed but good at the same time.
After we finished filming I then got to sit down with Paul the editor of the magazine at Vasili’s and he asked me a few questions for an article. Talk about feeling like a bit of a celebrity, lol. The magazine will come out in early December so when it does I’ll let you all know. Well thats my 15mins of fame. Hope you all enjoy this next recipe, its a goodie.

Congrats on your first TV appearance! I bet you were amazing! The internet in my hotel is as slow as molasses or I’d watch it. This cake looks positively decadent! Love how thick that bottom crust is!!!! Pinned!
Sophia says
Thank you, it was very nerve racking but its all done now and was pretty easy once it got started, I think its the build up to things that scare me off rather than the doing. Where are you at the moment to be staying in a hotel? I hope its some where romantic xxx
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
Haha it was nowhere romantic!! It was for work 🙁
I emailed the resort in NZ about sending a package there so I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back!!!!
Marica says
Love your Melbourne-based baking blog! This recipe incorporates two types of food my not-a-sweet-tooth husband loves; cheesecake and rhubarb. Thank-you for your posts. Oh, and the photography is gorgeous.
Sophia says
Hi Marcia,
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you have found me! Your husband will love it then, it really is a great flavour combo. Let me know if you make it for him 🙂
