My Kitchen Rules, Seven Network’s popular cooking game show was back filming in Cairns for series seven. This time it was for an Instant Restaraunt round at Mike & Tarq’s home – a father and son team living on Cairns’ northern beaches. I was there to shoot the tv publicity stills – capturing the drama in the kitchen, as well as at the “Island Thyme” dining table, with guest judges Colin Fassnidge & Rachel Khoo.
