You might’ve seen Simon on MasterChef Australia, where he quickly earned a reputation on the cast as the ‘King of Vegetables’. His talents in turning humble vegetables into show-stopping, delicious dishes took him all the way to the grand finale of the series. Now Simon hosts Freshly Picked with Simon Toohey, where he continues to demonstrate the versatility and deliciousness of humble veggies in everyday cooking.
Why Simon loves to cook with veggies
For Simon, vegetables are “untouched gold” — naturally colourful, generous, and packed with flavour. He loves their versatility, their abundance, and the way a simple walk through the garden can spark an entirely new idea in the kitchen.
