For the first time, Chef Miko Aspiras shares the dish he created for the finale of MasterChef Australia Season 17 — a stunning celebration of Australian native ingredients, from wattleseed to lemon myrtle. Equal parts creative and technical, Botanical Garden is designed for versatility, adapting across plated desserts, buffets, and afternoon tea. Miko walks through the thinking and techniques behind the dish, offering chefs a masterclass in balance, colour, and flavour.
