MIGUEL MAESTRE - Our recipe for love

THE TV CHEF INVITES US INTO HIS HOME TO DISH ON FAMILY LIFE AND A FUN NEW PROJECT

It would be difficult to find someone who doesn't feel energised in the presence of the gregarious Miguel Maestre.

The fun-loving TV star is the ultimate host when he warmly welcomes New Idea into his spacious family home in Sydney.

Despite being a celebrity, who first found fame as a respected chef before becoming a co-host on The Living Room in 2012, Miguel confirms he couldn't do all that he does without the support of Sascha, his wife of 14 years.

"She is the CEO of our family business [food company] Maestre Enterprises," Miguel, 44, shares with New Idea. "But we don't juggle our family responsibilities 50/50, it's more like my wife does 80 percent of the heavy lifting and I do 20 percent!"
