The fridge staples: " I have a variety of Beaufor mustards which are crucial ? dijon, wholegrain, hot English ? with a quick steak, always in salad dressings." Photo: Ben Rushton

The pantry staples: "I like good quality tuna in jars for nicoise salads and quick pastas after work." Photo: Ben Rushton

The pantry staples: "I always have a big stash of canned and bottled tomatoes. They?re organic and really good quality because it makes a big difference to my pasta dishes." Photo: Ben Rushton

The pantry staples: "I can?t live without Pukara Estate olive oil and vinegars of all kinds." Photo: Ben Rushton

The pantry staples: "Once a week I do a big fruit and veg shop. I?m not a massive sweet tooth but I?m addicted to fruit. I also love the fruit bowl to be a centrepiece on my table because it looks fantastic." Photo: Ben Rushton

The fridge staples: "French butter is a favourite for brekkie on my toast or to finish sauces. You can taste the difference ? it?s quite unique." Photo: Ben Rushton

Food discovery: "D?aucy tinned peas from France are the best peas you?ll ever have. I just saute a French shallot in oil, put the peas in with chicken stock, cook them slowly and serve with roast chicken." Photo: Ben Rushton

I'm drinking: "It?s always milky coffee in the morning for me, cappuccino, which I go out for, then after lunch it?s a little short black, which I make myself. I make juice each morning with any fruit I have. I change my mind all the time on wine but at the moment I?m really into pinot noir from Mount Gambier. I just got a wonderful Pooley pinot from Tasmania. I love a shiraz with cheese, particularly the 1996 Bowen Estate Coonawarra one. It?s spectacular. Saturday night tipple: A really nice chilled French champagne. Any form of French I love." Photo: Ben Rushton

My toolkit: "I?ve had my casserole pot for years and years and years. It?s one of those never-fail pots that cooks the ultimate winter slow braise." Photo: Ben Rushton

My toolkit: "Thermomix takes centre stage in my kitchen. I use it pretty much every day because it?s multifunctional, accurate and consistent." Photo: Ben Rushton

My toolkit: " I love collecting platters, and anything earthy-looking gets me." Photo: Ben Rushton
