Australian Flavour Maker To Pay $41k to Injured Worker, Director Fined $11k

Taste Master, Australian flavour maker, has been ordered to pay $41,250 to an employee injured at its plant. SafeWork SA has also imposed a fine of $11,250 on the company owner for failing to ensure safety standards at its plants.

The employee was injured during efforts to clear a blockage on the extruder machine caused by an interlock device. His left hand was struck with spinning cutter blades when he was using a scrapper to clean the machine. He had fractures and severe tendon injuries while the heat caused him to suffer from skin lesions. Notwithstanding reconstructive surgery, he has to live with physical impairment for life.

The Director was punished after a video shot by an employee showed that employees were asked to clear blockages while the extruder machine blades are rotating. It is a clear violation of safe working conditions.

A few days ago auto maker Holden was ordered by a tribunal to compensate one of its former workers for his interstitial lung disease linked to occupational hazard. James Bailey worked at Holden for 45 years but refused to be compensated for medical expenses to treat life-threatening lung disease he was diagnosed with because of his exposure to dust, metals and oil during his job.

The worker approached the Workers Compensation Tribunal after the company refused to pay him in March 2012, weeks after leaving his job due to life-threatening lung problems. The auto maker admitted that the employee was “exposed to significant quantities of silica dust and iron dust while at work between 1967 and 1992 at the Woodville plant.”

“Based on a common sense evaluation of the evidence, I find the notion that there is a probable connection between the very lengthy exposure to silica, iron and dust generally and the contraction of the disease, almost irresistible,” the judge ruled while rejecting the claim of the employer questioning the exact cause of Bailey’s lung disease.

You’ll see a beer theme running through several of my blogs this week and with great reason. If I was to be crowned Western Australia’s Taste Master, I’d be charged with exploring the 30 boutique breweries peppered through the state of Western Australia (WA) amongst many other things. Wow.

It may be nowhere as big as WA in its size, but Leeds has a very impressive beer scene of its own. We have our own brewery, a phenomenal range of quality pubs and purveyors of beer, as well as a calendar dotted with excellent beer festivals. And in my opinion, there are none more excellent than LS6 Beer Fest.

Introducing Dish, Leeds

Whilst I love immersing myself in a variety of new and unique food experiences, I still believe some of the most exciting, innovative and delicious taste experiences are to be found within the four walls of restaurants across the world. When imbued with a chef’s passion, creativity and talent, restaurants can be the most exhilarating places to experience food, serving up some of the best food that you'll taste in your life. Restaurants like MUST in Western Australia. I’ve mentioned MUST a few times throughout my campaign and with good reason. MUST in Margaret River was one of my first introductions to the cuisine of WA and I still dream about the meals I ate there. Pan fried gnocchi with wild mushrooms, the FRESHEST seasonal asparagus, crisp and oozing polenta bites and the showstopper – the espresso martini - it’s definitely number one on my list for when I (hopefully) return to WA as Taste Master!

In search of a comparable food emporium in Leeds, a twitter recommendation led me straight to the award-winning Dish.

What. A. Find. A relative newcomer to Leeds, Dish focuses on creating stunning, modern British food full of the influences that make Britain’s food as diverse and exciting as it is. I met Head Chef and Owner Eddy Nuttall, who told me more about the Dish philosophy, as well as his background as a chef which has seen him working in some of the finest restaurants throughout Australia and specifically, Western Australia!

As well as having a great chat with Eddy, I was also treated to a sample of the food that makes Dish so special. Wow.

Perched on a bed of salad was a ricotta, almond and spinach tart encased in a perfectly crispy blanket of filo pastry, surrounded by Dish’s take on piccalilli and brown sauce. An explosion of textures and flavours, it was an impressive introduction to the cuisine of Dish! Eddy explained that this sort of dish epitomised what he was trying to achieve with the restaurant – a modern British meal infused with a multitude of cultural influences, such as ricotta from Italy and filo pastry from Persia. It's definitely an approach that works, and I look forward to trying more of Eddy's creations in the future!

Where possible, Eddy sources all his ingredients locally and seasonally, celebrating the fantastic quality and diversity of British produce. The majority of ingredients he uses come from Yorkshire and Eddy even grows many herbs and vegetables in his garden, as well as foraging in and around Leeds. Hear more from Eddy on this below, along with his thoughts on the critical acclaim that Dish has received in just a few short months of being open:

Having learnt his trade in countless Michelin standard restaurants, Eddy loves cooking with modern techniques and Dish often hold special themed nights to showcase such techniques, such as the upcoming Gastronomic Molecular night on 22 May. Eddy makes sure that any modern techniques he uses serve to enhance the flavour of the food, so you're guaranteed a spectacle as well as a taste sensation.

A fantastic addition to Leeds, Dish is one of my favourite finds of the last two weeks and I can't wait to return to taste some more! If you haven't yet been, make sure Dish is on your 'must-visit' list and get yourself down there as soon as you can!

Rave // Taste Master

So here's some good news! My eating, drinking and blogging may have found itself a job! 

After submitting a video for Tourism Australia's Best Jobs in the World Competition [ https://bestjobs.australia.com ] I'm now down to the final 25 for the Taste Master role!

I need all the help and support I can get to show them I'm the best person for the job ... 

So, why should I be Taste Master?

I'm Aussie. The job is to promote Australia. One plus one makes two.

I'm know for usually being the first and last to leave the kitchen.

My suitcase is usually filled with souvenirs of food. 

I've taken a Dulce de Leche cake to bed before.

I'm the Wine Association of Australia Petanque Champion along with Stuart Gregor of Liquid Ideas. Which I won with a glass of wine in my hand.

More fun, perhaps cringe worthy facts to follow ...

Best Job in the World Finalist!

It feels pretty surreal to be saying this, but yesterday I found out that I have been shortlisted for one of Tourism Australia’s ‘Best Jobs in the World’. Out of 600,000 applications for six unbelievable jobs across Australia, I am one of the lucky 25 that’s still in the running for arguably the best job of all – TASTE MASTER.

OH MY. If this is the first you’ve heard of the Best Jobs in the World campaign, I’ll fill you in. As part of a major international campaign to promote Australia’s working holiday programme, Tourism Australia launched a campaign to recruit six people to six amazing jobs across the country. Interested applicants were asked to submit a 30 second video explaining why they should get the job. You can see my video for Taste Master on The Best Jobs in the World website.

If successful, I will spend six months eating my way around Western Australia, foraging out the finest produce and uncovering the best bars and restaurants, all the while sharing my finds with the world via blogs, videos, interviews and social media. HELLO DREAM JOB!

So, why me? Everyone who knows me believes that this job was MADE for me. I’m a food and wine obsessive that loves nothing more than sharing my experiences through blogs and social media. I’ve been blogging about food and wine on various blogs for over ten years and fell head over heels in love with Western Australia’s food and wine when I visited as part of a round the world foodie trip in 2011. This blog was set up to document this trip, so have a trawl through my blog archive and you'll see how passionate I am about food and drink :)!

You can also have a peek of my shortlisted video – Tourism Australia thought it showed why I would make a great Taste Master and I hope you’ll agree!

What next? Tourism Australia has tasked me with getting as much advocacy and media interest as possible from now until Wednesday 8 May. They want me to find the ultimate referees to support my application, who can back up my claims as to why I’m the best possible candidate for the role of Taste Master. My campaign For the next two weeks I’m going to take on the role of Taste Master in my beloved city of Leeds, telling the story of the amazing culinary scene that the city has and the people that make it up. Whilst sampling the foodie delights of the city, I’ll be interviewing as many people as possible, finding out their stories and getting their support for my campaign.And of course I will be trying to find links with Western Australia as much as I can in the process! 

How can you help? I need YOU to follow my campaign, get behind me and tell the world why you think I’d make the best Taste Master.

Facebook will be my central hub for my campaign, where I’ll link to all videos, photos, media coverage and blog posts. I’d love it if you could like my page, leave a message of support on the wall and share with as many people as possible! You'll find the page here: www.facebook.com/lisafortastemaster.

If you like to tweet, follow me on twitter, tweet me your messages of support and RT as much as you can! You'll find me at @_lisafarrell_ and the hashtag is #lisafortastemaster

I’ll also be instagramming away so please follow me at whereslisa, like my posts and leave your messages of support tagged with #lisafortastemaster.

Finally I'll be creating lots of videos as I eat my way around Leeds, so save my YouTube channel to your favourites to find out more!

If you’re a food or wine outlet that would like to support me, or if you work in the media and would like to cover my story, you can email me at [email protected] or call me on 07817688457.

All that’s left for me to say is a big THANK YOU in advance for your support – let’s do this for Leeds!!
