About the Chef
Travelling and experiencing new cultures has always been a true passion of mine. I'm originally from New York City and studied Fine Art in the USA and Italy. About twenty years ago, I relocated to Australia and shifted my focus to food and attended culinary school. I approach cooking with an artist's mentality, creating my recipes as if a collage: using my experiences of different cultures I gather ingredients and flavours to create multifaceted menus. I love putting my own stamp on traditional dishes, creating new combinations and experimenting with innovative flavours while using fresh, local and organic produce as much as possible.
