Win the DVD Tetsuya's Pursuit of Excellence
And follow the journey of this world renowned restaurateur
Tetsuya Wakuda and Tasmania beef
At just 10 years of age, Tetsuya Wakuda dreamed of travelling overseas from his home in Japan. Thankfully for those of us who love his food and restaurants, fate dictated his first job was a kitchen hand in Australia and the rest as they say...
In this documentary DVD, Tetsuya tells his story along with his first friends, early mentors and international colleagues like Heston Blumenthal and Ferran Adria of El Bulli.
It's a fascinating journey that five lucky VisitVineyards.com subscribers could be viewing when they win the DVD.
Tetsuya Wakuda came to Australia in the early 1980's with no professional skills or English and started work as a kitchen hand – thirty years later and he's at the top of fine cuisine around the world. Join this journey of nervous beginnings to earning great respect from reviewers and colleagues alike.
Tetsuya also shares his love for Tasmanian produce – the seafood, wagyu beef, honey and more – plus his latest culinary adventure and, for something a little different, you'll see the development of his new traditionally built wooden boat in Tasmania.
Tetsuya's Pursuit of Excellence is ideal for those who love fine food, Tasmanian produce and learning more about the fascinating characters that make up the culinary world, and there's no doubt that Tetsuya, with his trademark engaging smile, is one of those.
PS: inside the DVD cover, you'll find Tetsuya's recipes for some of his well-known dishes including roasted Tasmanian rock lobster, wagyu steak, blue cheese and leatherwood honey plus his signature dish of ....
TO ENTER: simply tell us (in the 50 words or less box below) the name of Tetsuya's world famous signature dish and where the main ingredient comes from.
