Taste of Australia with Hayden Quinn – Bondi Beach
Taste Bondi with Hayden Quinn
Cook, author, presenter and MasterChef Australia contestant Hayden Quinn delves into Sydney’s incredible restaurants, rich culture and natural beauty for season four of Taste of Australia with Hayden Quinn: Sydney Edition. This week he tries mindfulness, cult cafes and coastal ingredients on iconic Bondi Beach.
“This is a great way to start a Bondi morning. It’s fresh, but I’m with Leah Simmons and we’re working through one of her KAAIAA workouts – it's a big day ahead.”
Hayden braves the crisp morning air for a workout session overlooking the beach with Bondi local Leah Simmons. Leah is the founder of KAAIAA, a workout studio that combines mental, physical, emotional and spiritual training.
With the sun shining, it’s the perfect day to do as the locals do and head out on the beautiful Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk.
Hayden and Leah embark on the Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk to finish off their morning exercise. Starting at the famous Bondi Icebergs ocean pool, the 6km walk is a stunning way to see some of Sydney’s best beaches and clifftop panoramas in one go.
A local staple for more than a decade, Porch & Parlour is a pioneer of the Bondi cafe scene that’s just steps from the water.
The pair stop by Porch & Parlour for a signature green smoothie, a healthy blend of mango, banana, coconut milk and leafy greens. Combining good food, sustainably focused wines, art and music, Porch & Parlour is a vibrant part of the Bondi community.
Hayden meets up with Guy Turland from The Depot to forage by the water. “Welcome to my supermarket, AKA: the backyard!”
Chef, author and Bondi local Guy Turland shouts Hayden lunch at his produce-driven eatery The Depot before heading to the beach to find some native ingredients. They pick warrigal greens, then grill up some prawns right on one of Bondi’s rockpools.
