THE CONFAB WITH MICHAEL G IN CONVERSATION WITH JOHN MARSHAL HE WAS BETTER KNOWN AS MR FRUGII
John a Canberra confectioner who founded the experimental ice-creamery Frugii Dessert Laboratory, sadly passed away in 2021.
John had long indulged in his hobby — creating unusually flavoured ice-creams and desserts — while selling them from his home, until he launched the business on Braddon's Lonsdale Street.
John's creations came to be featured in international culinary publications as he continued to explore atypical food combinations.
Some of his more unusual ice-cream flavours included hummus, black truffle, butter chicken and Vegemite, which he launched to mark Australia Day.
Join me on the ConFab with Michael G to reflect on his memory, his contribution to our culinary experiences, passions and his inventiveness.
