MKR’S ANNA AND JORDAN AT THE LIVING AND LEISURE EXPO<br />

See Anna and Jordan cooking demos at the Living and Leisure Expo featuring Dogs Breakfast.<br />

Wanneroo’s own Anna and Jordan<br />

Bruno made their mark on hit<br />

television show My Kitchen Rules<br />

earlier this year, and now the<br />

mother/son team are set to star at<br />

the City of Wanneroo’s upcoming<br />

Living and Leisure Expo, featuring<br />

Dogs Breakfast.<br />

The pair will perform several live<br />

cooking demonstrations throughout<br />

the day, showcasing their mouthwatering<br />

recipes.<br />

“We will be cooking home-style food<br />

with a lot of love and passion,” Anna<br />

promised. “It will be a lot of fun and<br />

we are really looking forward to the<br />

event.”<br />

Fans will also have the chance<br />

to meet the duo, with Jordan<br />

particularly keen to see the<br />

hundreds of four-legged friends in<br />

attendance.<br />

“I am likely to steal a puppy,” he<br />

joked. “I love the idea that pets<br />

are welcome at this event, I am<br />

obsessed with dogs so I’m excited<br />

to see them all there.”<br />

A Wanneroo resident for more than<br />

25 years, Anna moved to the area<br />

when she married her husband, who<br />

had lived in Wanneroo his entire life<br />

with his market gardening family.<br />

“When I first started dating my<br />

husband there was only one bus<br />

in and one bus out,” she said.<br />

“Growing up in Bassendean -<br />

it seemed so far away, but I instantly<br />

loved the small community feel.<br />

“It has been a great place to raise<br />

four boys on acreage - it’s so open,<br />

we loved the freedom and it just has<br />

a really good community feel. We’ve<br />

seen some amazing changes over<br />

the years.”<br />

Anna and Jordan’s passion for<br />

cooking was evident on the small<br />

screen, with both of them having an<br />

interest from a young age.<br />

“I grew up in a large family of seven<br />

children, so I started by helping out<br />

with dinner, peeling the potatoes,<br />

which grew to suggesting meals<br />

and doing the cooking,” Anna said.<br />

“I love to eat, and I love to cook.”<br />

Jordan took an interest in cooking<br />

at about 12 years of age, and while<br />

the pair enjoy cooking meals from<br />

their Italian and Maltese heritage,<br />

they love different cuisines, including<br />

Moroccan and Thai.<br />

“I love experimenting with healthy<br />

meals and trying to do a twist on<br />

the traditional,” Jordan said.<br />

Life since MKR has been busy<br />

for the pair, carrying out cooking<br />

demonstrations and doing corporate<br />

catering.<br />

In <strong>September</strong> Anna plans to have<br />

‘Mama Anna’s Cooking Classes’<br />

up and running, while Jordan is<br />

searching for the perfect location in<br />

Perth’s northern suburbs to open<br />

a café, where he hopes to offer<br />

traditional food with a healthy twist.<br />
