Craig Young

Age: 43

State: QLD

Occupation: Professional Musician

Craig Young was passionate about two things: music and food. Having already achieved one dream of becoming a professional musician, who played with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, it was time to take a new path to achieve his food dream.

"Desserts are my passion. I think the thing I love about desserts is the reaction I get from most people when they eat them. To me, it’s the finale of the meal. A lot of the techniques, pastry, and anything to do with eggs or egg whites, this is what I do."

He cooked his way through the competition, making delicious, musical themed dishes.

Two of his most popular creations was the Roast Quail Ravioli with Portobello Mushrooms and Sage Butter, as well as Deux Petit Porcine En Papillote: Two Little Pigs In A Bag.
