Scott Bagnell

Hi, I’m Scott Bagnell. Top 9 Finalist of Masterchef Australia 2021, home-cook, cookbook collector, decadent baker and self-confessed food nerd. I am also a keen wine enthusiast, gin collector, cocktail appreciator, passionate teacher, traveller, sustainability advocate and Commerical Interior Designer specialising in Retail and Hospitality Design. As you can probably tell already, I have a very enthusiastic passion for life, and a lot of keen interests. I have been working on combining my love of design, food, wine, travel and teaching for many years – and have recently launched my food blog Growkery which is the accumulation of these passions and my happy place.I love the idea of storytelling through food and food experiences. Recreating nostalgic dishes with a new spin is one of my favourite things to do or developing creative and unusual flavour combinations. Outside of the kitchen, my other big passion is design. I have been an Interior Designer for almost 20 years founded my own Interior Design Company Techniche Design in 2003. My experience in the design industry is quite broad, encompassing a range of disciplines including interior, retail, hospitality, education, commercial, religious, residential, visual communication design, multimedia, theatrical set design, and event management. I am now looking to specialise more in restaurant design and unique concepts that truly hero exceptional dining experiences and great food.
