Name - Cynthia Noonan‹
Location - Sydney, Australia
Birth Country - Ghana, Accra. Have lived in Australia for 35yrs

‹Background: I have always wanted to be a chef. I arrived in Australia for the first time in 1986, and learned to write and speak English, as English was my second language. I completed a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery at Ryde Tafe in 1999, while working as a first year appre

ntice at The Pig & The Olive in Potts Point. I enjoyed this learning experience and received good feedback. This led to a bunch of roles around Sydney, including my first Head Chef role at the Hyde Park Barracks Cafe. I spent the next five years working at the Park Royal and the Holiday Inn near Sydney Airport and Crowne Plaza in Coogee. These roles were a great development opportunity for me. Later on I studied at Macquarie University and achieved my degree in Early Childhood Teaching. I have been working in various Childhood Teaching positions. Present: I wanted to get back to a bustling restaurant environment and it's been the perfect time to start my own business, with the hospitality scene coming back to life. I like the creativity and cooking style that Centennial Parklands and Hyde Park Barracks Cafe are known for and look forward to the warmer months ahead. Like many people around the world, the pandemic has given me time to reflect on what is important in life. For me, that means spending more time at home, something that I didn't realise I was missing out on being at work while my children were young, but something that I have really cherished over these past months.

Lamb Osso Buco

There’s something deeply comforting about a slow-cooked stew, especially one as rich and satisfying as osso buco. This recipe is a twist on the traditional version, which is usually made with veal shanks, but here we’re using lamb leg, and honestly, it’s incredible. The meat becomes tender and juicy after a long, slow braise in red wine and stock, infused with spices, herbs and aromatics. Every bite melts in your mouth, and the flavour is bold, layered, and soul-warming.

The magic lies in giving it time. Time to simmer gently in the oven. Time for the meat to relax into tenderness. Time for the wine and stock to mingle with garlic, onion, carrot, and herbs until everything becomes one luxurious, cohesive sauce. It’s the kind of dish that makes your home smell amazing for hours and the kind of meal people remember long after the plates are cleared. .catering

CREAMY MACADAMIA, APPLE & CINNAMON PORRIDGE

Winter is coming and the best part of winter is the hearty, warm foods! One of our favourite winter meals is porridge. It’s so easy to make, you can mix it up so you don’t get bored and its nutritious and delicious! We have tinkered around over the years to find the best combo of ingredients and our absolute favourite recipe is Apple and Cinnamon. Pink lady apples are our favourite to use as they retain some crunch after cooking (provided you don’t cook too long) and they are sweet so you don’t need much extra sweetener (we personally still use apple syrup but you could easily skip it. It’s comforting to know when waking up in the pitch black and feeling a chill in the air that a warming bowl of delicious, creamy porridge awaits. For us, it certainly makes bracing the traffic and trains a little more bearable. .catering

Brown sugar pavlova, mango, passion fruit & lime zest

đŸ„­ đŸ‹â€đŸŸ© There’s a magic about the alchemy of combining eggs whites and sugar to create fluffy, whipped peaks of white meringue. This magic, combined with nostalgia and a big dollop of deliciousness are the reasons why the great Kiwi Pavlova holds such a special place in our hearts as our most loved egg-based dessert. Our twist on this wonderful tradition is smashed Pavlova. Made with brown sugar, these Pavs have a caramel taste and gooey texture that guarantees they will be a memorable Easter treat. .catering
