From Inspiration to the Barbecue!

More Than a Plate follows Grill Master Laura Romeo as she steps inside some of Australia’s most exciting kitchens, not to copy dishes, but to uncover the thinking, flavour, and feeling behind them. Each episode takes inspiration from a restaurant, a chef, or a moment, then brings it home to the barbecue. It’s about instinct over instruction, creativity over recipes, and showing how the Weber Genesis turns inspiration into food worth sharing with friends and family.

Baba's Place explores suburban cuisine and the 'wog' experience
through art, food and culture.

In Episode 1, Laura shows how nostalgic flavours can be reworked for the barbecue,
approachable, practical, and made for sharing.

Sofia Bistro brings Mediterranean flavours together with a focus on technique and execution.

Episode 2 sees Laura unpack how attention to heat, timing, and texture can
turn simple ingredients into a barbecue showstopper.
