Chris Badenoch, a long-time passionate home cook, brought his 'nose to tail' style of cooking to a greater audience on TV's MasterChef Australia, where he was best known as the hat-wearing beer merchant whose perfect roast pig's head both fascinated and polarised the nation. Chris gave up a successful career as a graphic artist to start working at celebrating his two passions: beer and food. He now spends his time doing beer tastings, cooking demonstrations and recipe development, whereby he hopes to bring a greater understanding of the 'nose to tail' ethos to Australia.
