Richardcooks upa seafoodpasta feast

HARDTOTOP: Richard Livingstone cooks up a feast at his friendBarry’s house in Caloundra.

FOR more than 30 yearsRichard Livingstone’s lifehas revolved around food.

Growing up in chillyEdinburgh, Richard admitsit was the warmth of thekitchen which first luredhim in, yet it wasn’t longbefore he realised he had anatural flair for cooking.

Qualifying as a chef afterschool, he gained experienceworking in Switzerland forseveral years then, ‘‘out ofcuriosity’’ headed to Aus-tralia.

‘‘I landed in Sydney at8.30pm and before I went tobed that night I had a job,’’Richard says of his first ap-pointment at GovernmentHouse in Melbourne in the70s, where he worked as chefto the Governor of Victoria.

Highlights included cook-ing for Prince Phillip, for-m e r P r i m e M i n i s t e rMalcolm Fraser and QueenElizabeth II at a state lunch-eon in celebration of theQueen’s silver jubilee in1977.

Venturing north to work asa chef on some of Queens-land’s most idyllic islands,R i c h a r d m e t h i s w i f eA n t h e a , a l s o a n a c -complished chef, on DunkIsland.

After settling on the Coastthe pair ran Tivolis Res-taurant – which was re-nowned for its seafooddishes – in Caloundra for adecade.

‘‘In the restaurant we fo-cused on fresh local prod-uct,’’ Richard explains.

‘‘I was very hands on so for10 years I spent every day inthe kitchen cooking andtraining apprentices.’’

T h e s e d a y s t h o u g h ,

Richard cooks up a storm athome, often inspired by in-gredients from their herband vegetable garden.

‘‘Because of my Scottishheritage I like cooking a lotof traditional dishes liketongue and offal, and haggiswith mash potatoes and tur-nips,’’ he says.

With their own kitchen-ware store, aptly namedAnthea’s Kitchen & Accou-

trements, food and how tocook it well is a constanttopic of conversation be-tween the couple.

‘‘I am more enthusiasticabout cooking than ever be-fore,’’ Richard says.

‘‘Anthea and I have differ-ent strengths which comp-lement one another in thekitchen and we’re alwaysexperimenting.

‘‘A few years ago our sonJames paid us the best com-pliment.

‘‘When asked by someonewhat it was like to live withtwo qualified chefs he said:‘I’m 26 years old and I stillget served up food that I’venever had before’.

‘‘When we ran the res-taurant we constantly cre-ated new dishes so we havea treasure trove of our ownrecipes and are currentlyworking on a compendium ofour favourites,’’ Richardsays.

WorkforcepostponingretirementA HUGE percentage of the Austra-lian workforce say they expect toretire at a later age due to the in-creased costs of living.

This latest information was re-vealed in a recent survey byHuman resource company Tal-ent2.

The company surveyed 1100people by in a nation-wide study.

Results revealed that 87% ofthose interviewed are planning topostpone their retirement.

A total of 59% of those surveyedalso said they are unable to savemoney from their work earningsbecause of rising debts.

Around 39% of workers saidthey face heavy debt and are un-able to save at the end of the weekand a further 29% said they don’tearn enough to even pay theirbills, let alone save money.

Chief executive officer of Tal-ent2 Mark Brayan said many Aus-tralians are too busy trying tomanage their current debts toproperly prepare for their re-tirement.

This troubling information wasreiterated in the survey results as

70% of all respondents said theydidn’t not believe they will haveenough money to comfortably re-tire.

‘‘The results show a decline inoptimism as employees grow old-er, with 72% of employees over theage of 55 saying they are worriedabout their financial securityafter retirement, as opposed toonly 60% of employees betweenthe ages of 19 and 24.’’

Brayan says a number of Aus-tralians could face a rude awaken-ing when they reach retirementage, particularly women.

‘‘Despite having longer life ex-pectancies, women were twice aslikely to be unprepared for retire-ment than men, with one in fouradmitting they’ve taken no stepstowards ensuring their financialsecurity after retirement.

‘‘Perhaps it is time for employ-ers to consider offering bettersuperannuation packages to em-ployees to help offset retirementobstacles,’’ he said. E M P L O Y M E N T

By INGRID SANDERS [email protected] is plenty of work out therefor burgeoning chefs especially onthe Sunshine Coast.

So much so that Richard Liv-ingstone, an employment trainingconsultant with Acclaim Appren-tices and Trainees, recently placed11 apprentice chefs in just oneweek.

Aged from 16 to their early 40’s,the aspiring chefs have beensnapped up by cafes, restaurantsand clubs in the region.

Over the next four years theywill work towards gaining a formalqualification in certificate III com-mercial cookery.

Mr Livingstone said Februaryhad been an excellent month forplacing workers in the hospitalityindustry. In fact he placed 19apprentice chefs which equates toalmost one for every working dayof the month.

‘‘It has been a very good resultfor us. Traditionally February is amonth where we see a downturnafter the busy Christmas period

but this year has been huge,’’ MrLivingstone said.

‘‘I think things are going mark-edly better for the restaurant in-dustry than the same time 12months ago.

‘‘The Coast is continuing togrow and because of the lifestyle,more people are choosing to eatout.

‘‘There is loads of activity in thehospitality industry at themoment. With chefing being a skillshortage area this is a coup forAcclaim,’’ he said.
