Roberta Muir in Field of Wildflowers, Switzerland - Food-Wine-Travel with Roberta Muir

I love making it easy for home cooks to explore new cuisines and ingredients and sharing my passion for cooking, eating, drinking and travelling. I’m a certified Sherry educator, Australian Ambassador for International Sherry Week (6-12 November 2023) and cheese judge (I even wrote a little cheese book) and have a Master of Arts degree in Gastronomy from the University of Adelaide. For almost 25 years I ran Australia’s largest recreational cooking school, Sydney Seafood School at Sydney Fish Market. I became immersed in Australia’s exciting food and restaurant world, forming friendships with many great chefs and awesome producers and learning a lot along the way. I’ve written cookbooks with some of them – A Lombardian Cookbook (with Alessandro Pavoni), A Sardinian Cookbook (with Giovanni Pilu), Wild Weed Pie (with Janni Kyritsis) and the Sydney Seafood School Cookbook – hosted cooking classes with just about all of them, and learnt to translate their ‘chef speak’ into ‘home cook speak’. I live in Sydney with my husband – photographer, spirits expert and fellow food lover – Franz Scheurer.

We made the pot-sticker dumplings and bang bang chicken – once again both exceeded our expectations. My husband keeps saying it’s better ordering this than going out to restaurants as the recipes and food quality are amazing.

The whole Be Inspired experience has helped me love cooking again. I was sick of cooking the same old things - meal time is a lot brighter thanks to you Roberta.

I loved the Fresh & Easy Chicken – simple instructions, only a few ingredients and the time factor absolutely spot on. Then came the highlight, the taste, no compromise on the enjoyment of that meal! For the time poor Fresh & Easy hits the mark indeed.

Thank you for stocking our pantry with such authentic Ingredients and quality produce ... I’ve so enjoyed picking fresh leaves from the herb pots and loved listening to the chef's playlist while cooking. We really like the flexibility of cooking over a couple of days and changing the order we cook the dishes in when we want to.

I am absolutely loving these boxes! There are Ingredients I have never worked with before so having the confidence to try something new is so much fun! The recipes are just amazing and the notes on what can be prep’d beforehand are a great help too. Thank you so much.

Loving Be Inspired! Felt like a kid opening up a Christmas present when the box arrived. Fresh herb pots are a nice touch!

Thanks so much for the Fresh & Easy Meal, it was excellent. We regularly get another meal kit delivery – your offering is vastly superior and a similar price, so big ticks.

I'm a competent cook whose learned so much from the Recipes+Videos Packs. The recipes are yummy and Roberta’s video guidance offers so many little tips to improve flavour and organise the flow of preparation. I enjoy her warmth, sense of humour, and ability to giggle at herself when she occasionally messes up.
