Laszlo is an IT consultant who is married with a beautiful daughter. The two main things in life for Laz are his passion for fitness and food… and he strongly believes that they go together. A fully qualified chef, he has previously worked with some of the best chefs in Australia. During this time he was constantly introduced to some of the freshest and best produce in Australia. With his ability to be extremely creative within either a kitchen or BBQ environment, Laz combined these fresh ingredients with different exotic flavours to produce culinary delights that were award winning. During this journey, he has also learnt the importance of nutrition and the true values of food.

Perth is a city that embraces the outdoor lifestyle, mainly due to the climate, as well as having some of the best beaches in the world. Combine this with fantastic weather, a great BBQ, good friends, family and fresh ingredients and Laz believes you have a recipe for success. “The traditional Australian BBQ has always had the ability to bring people together in a very positive way. I can strengthen that, with knowledge of nutrition, sensible eating and sharing this with everyone who loves the BBQ and the outdoors. Sizzling and Grilling for Healthy Living!”

I am Australia’s Best BBQ’er because: “I love the Australian lifestyle, the outdoors and especially cooking with different types of food on the traditional Australian BBQ. I have the passion, experience and enthusiasm to create different culinary delights that are extremely healthy for everyone. I feel that, with my passion for fitness and food I have the ability to effectively communicate, while providing a positive message to all Australians, that healthy eating is very important for our well being.”
