Maggie Beer

Maggie Beer AO is an Australian culinary legend — she's a cook, author, educator and food producer. Born in Sydney, she first gained recognition in the Barossa Valley, where she and her husband established a line of gourmet foods, bringing pâtés and verjuice to all corners of the country.

Maggie’s appearance on ABC's tv show The Cook & The Chef cemented her place as one of Australia’s most well known food personalities, and she continues to grace our screens on MasterChef and Great Australian Bake Off.

Maggie's heartfelt approach to food is what makes her so special and extends to her work under the Maggie Beer Foundation which works to improve food experiences and nutritional standards for older Australians, especially those in aged care.

 

In soft, natural tones artist Phoebe Stone brings Maggie's wondrous pavlova to life. Phoebe has conjured a warm and nostalgic scene where the billowy pavlova takes centre stage, covered with soft whipped cream, dried apricots and roasted almonds. Maggie's favourite flowers—orange roses—are perched in the background.
