Great BBQ Challenge

Age: 44 Lives: VIC Signature dish: Chicken ala Mags

Margaret has a passion for entertaining! Her friends think of her as vivacious, quick witted with a strong sense of self, personal style and a warm and hospitable spirit. She is the manager of the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre, has two children Kimberley and Stephen, partner Pete and Bobbie the dog.

The only thing Margaret loves more than food is sharing it with her family and friends. “I can’t think of anything better than good food, good wine and good company, they all go hand in hand.” Whipping up a gourmet feast with minimal fuss is her forte. With a few simple ingredients and a BBQ she can create mouth-watering dishes in no time. For Margaret the BBQ brings a sense of fun to entertaining and is the perfect way of celebrating our unique Aussie culture.

I'm Australia's Best BBQ'er because: “My motto is the 4 S’s - Style, Scrumptious, Sophistication and Simplicity. Combined this ensures the end result will look amazing, taste sensational, be easy to prepare and won’t cost a fortune. For me great food and entertaining should be deceptively quick and delicious. My friends are stunned at what I can create on the BBQ and it’s always something different with no stress… just fun!”
