Screen Shot 2015-08-12 at 11.22.41 am.jpgWhile the cooking prowess of AFL stars is often thought to be limited by the strict diets and demanding schedules of a professional athlete, a new online cooking series ‘In The Kitchen’ created by afl.com.au in partnership with Obela has shown a different side to some of the biggest names in the AFL.

Players including Sydney’s Josh Kennedy, Collingwood’s Travis Cloke, Carlton’s Marc Murphy and Hawthorn’s Jack Gunston – among others – are taking to their kitchens as part of the Obela In The Kitchen series, which offers exclusive insight into how some of the game’s biggest players approach food, life and family.

Created in partnership with Obela, the official dip of the AFL, the series features 6 episodes released weekly over the remainder of the season.

Each player is challenged to put their cooking skills to the test, as host Jennifer Adams learns a little more about their lifestyle and how they juggle the demands of footy and home.

Footy fans can not only access the recipes, but also have an opportunity to win a 2015 Toyota AFL Grand Final Experience valued at over $5,000, simply by sharing their own Obela Delicious Moment via Obela’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ObelaAU.

Says Adam Singles, marketing manager, Obela: “Entertaining and celebrating are core elements of the AFL experience, whether it’s at home or at the game, which is why we’re so excited to be an official partner of the AFL again in 2015.

“The Obela In The Kitchen Series shows another side to these AFL stars, while revealing some hidden skills we won’t see on the field, and we’re hoping it will inspire other guys to get in the kitchen and experiment as well.”

Nick Dal Santo will join Josh Kennedy and Marc Murphy when his episode is released on

Wednesday 5 August, followed by Jack Gunston, Nathan Jones and Travis Cloke.
