Cooking up a storm

Shovaun Wilson has joined the team at the Cooroy RSL.

COOROY RSL is proud to welcome two new chefs to the bistro restaurant, who will be serving up top-quality food at the recently renovated venue.
Only 18 months ago, Vaclav Dvorsky was the head chef of Wooden Spoon in Sydney, a fine-dining restaurant offering degustation menus and an array of top-end dishes.
Now, the Cooroy RSL welcomes the top chef as the latest addition to their bistro restaurant alongside Shovaun Wilson.
Vaclav can also add head chef of The Rocks Cafe, Circular Quay, Appetito, West Bank and Ripples at Chowder Bay to his impressive list of former gigs.
The European-trained chef specialises in modern European cuisine including French and Italian – and since moving to Australia in 1998, has added modern Australian cuisine, Asian and Indian infusion cooking to his repertoire.
Shovaun has been a chef for seven years, completing her apprenticeship at a cattle farm in Victoria.
It was a sea change that brought Shovaun from Gympie to the Noosa Shire and she said she loves to cook “good, hardy food”.
Vaclav and Shovaun bring a unique taste to the Cooroy RSL and will feature dishes such as sweet coconut tiger prawns on radish salad with kaffir lime leaf sauce, or the crispy skinned Atlantic salmon fillet served with a fennel and orange salad with crispy vermicelli noodles and lemon beurre blanc sauce.
For those with a sweet tooth, you can’t miss the home-made pavlova served with mixed berry compote, passionfruit coulis and Chantilly cream for only $6.90.
The Cooroy RSL is on Maple Street, Cooroy, and is open for lunch seven days a week, from noon to 2pm. Dinner is from 6pm to 8pm, and the cafe is open from 10am.
