Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington with some of the pesto which impressed the Ekka judges<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 8, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

If ABC political reporter\u00a0Annabel Crabb ever wants to do a Queensland version of her popular “Kitchen Cabinet” TV show, she should look no further than the South Burnett’s very own Deb Frecklington.<\/p>\n

The LNP Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango made headlines on Wednesday by taking out second place in “Class 124: Pesto – Basil Traditional” in the Culinary competition at the 2018 Brisbane Ekka.<\/p>\n

The secret of her success?<\/p>\n

\u201cGood, fresh parmesan, garlic, pine nuts, lots of fresh home grown basil, good Australian olive oil and a touch of salt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington is now awaiting the judges’ reaction to her date loaf, also entered at the Ekka.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The results of her efforts in this competition should be known at the end of the week.<\/p>\n

So how does she find time to practise her skills in the kitchen?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a home cook, I love having the family around and talking to them while I\u2019m cooking,\u201d she told the media.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Mrs Frecklington has had success at a rural show.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former Wandoan Miss Showgirl and Miss South West Queensland is also a dab hand at chocolate cake.<\/p>\n

She scored first prize and “champion” status in “Section 15: Chocolate Cakes” at the 2012 Kingaroy Show.<\/p>\n

She revealed soon afterwards on Facebook that it wasn’t her first show win, either.<\/p>\n

“That cake recipe won three years in a row at the Ardlethan Show … made by me,” she said.<\/p>\n

Footnote: Murgon culinary champ Edna O’Neill has so far picked up two second places, in “Class 10: Carrot Bar Cake” and “Class 12: Chocolate Sandwich”, and a third in “Class 94: Date Pudding” at the 2018 Brisbane Ekka.<\/strong><\/p>\n
