LYNDALL Vandenberg's passion for preserves blooms through the taste and texture of her extraordinary baked quinces — truly seasonal, of a wonderful rich colour, dense and delicious. Teamed with Stefano de Pieri — the chef who found fame with A Gondola on the Murray — the pair began by melding a love of good food with the finest fruits and vegetables to produce an artfully seasonal range of conserves and preserves at Mildura in north-western Victoria. Stefano's Preserves has since become the brand Lyndall Vandenberg, and Lyndall's ardour for the old-fashioned art of preserving and an energy to create uncompromising quality using the best available produce is inherent in her range. Lyndall says there is a lot of emphasis on food presentation and design in the contemporary, commercial world. ‘A lot of products are stronger in presentation than taste. We wanted to affirm that, for us, content is more important than appearance.’
