The Story of My Food Obsession
I’m Eddie.
My goal in Ma Pasion is to transform simple ingredients to gourmet restaurant quality. The aim is to inspire people to love food, and to teach about my experiences to all who wants to learn. Ma Pasion is all about finding that connection between food and people, bringing everyone together no matter what ethnicity you are from. My focus is on everyday techniques rather than recipes. For instance, I explain to my customers the importance of organising your food plan and to budget, cook, and save.
I’ve been working for over 20 years in the culinary scene as a talented and passionate Head Chef & a consultant at some of Australia’s top fine dining restaurants and wineries.
I developed a passion for food from a young age, always obsessed watching my mother cook. I remember I would go with my mum to the market on Saturday and she would show my how to find the freshest ingredients. Even now when I visit home, I stand beside her while she cooks to puck up tricks and ideas.
