Outback Celebs

OUTBACK Pride has spiced up the celebrity chef industry, with the cream of Australia's top chefs adding Outback Pride native foods to their menus.

Mike and Gayle Quarmby's business at Reedy Creek is embracing the exciting new year ahead with high demand from the nation's most popular restaurants and their famous chefs.

Having already worked closely with Aboriginal chef Mark Olive, with his Lifestyle Channel cooking show and the Outback Cafe cookbook , which was co-written with Mike and Gayle, he is now one of many who are getting behind the supply of native products from Reedy Creek.

These include: Three-hat Chef Peter Gilmore, Neil Perry of the Rock Pool Empire, Kylie Kwong of Billy Kwong Sydney, Crown Casino, Hilton chain and ABC and local SA chef Simon Bryant.

Kylie Kwong recently announced on her facebook page that she was thrilled to be introducing the quality Australian bush foods to her Australian-Chinese food.

She described Outback Pride as "exceptional produce grown by people who embody exceptional heart-mind connection".

The Quarmbys said the chefs were all working to put the native cuisine back on the "Aussie" menu.

"By these chefs adding native foods to their menus, they are designing a new Australian cuisine, which people will hopefully take on, in their domestic cooking lifestyle," Gayle said.

" Following the Masterchef program , and a multiplicity of other cooking shows, home cooks are far more sensible and adventurous about their foods now.

"They want to know if their foods have come from a natural process and how they have been prepared.

"People have a right to know where their foods come from."
