Get to know me better

Well travelled versatile experienced Australian Chef that has amazing experience of cooking any cuisine

I started my culinary adventure 16 years ago in Melbourne Australia where I attended culinary school at William Angliss Institute Of Tafe. One of Australia's most pristine culinary programs. While attending culinary school I worked and learned as an apprentice at Melbourne 2 hat restaurant the iconic Stoke House. From there I have travelled and work all over the world. From the islands of the Great Barrier reef, Asia, Alaska and California. Recently I was the Executive Chef for the Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite National Park for 6 years where I created amazing seasonal Californian cuisine for hundreds of visitors from all over the world. I then moved to the Monterey Peninsula where I was the Executive Chef at Grasings Coastal Cuisine located in Carmel by sea. We served many high end clients beautiful sustainable organic dishes including many 5 to 6 course wine pairing dinners.. I have a well rounded knowledge of all aspects of food from butchery, baking, molecular gastronomy, wine pairing, buffets, fine dining, seafood, vegetarian, vegan, dietary needs, barbeques. Great with any type of cuisine, south east Asian, Italian, French, Mediterranean, Indian, German, American, British. I am extremely motivated and passionate about food and look forward to cooking for you.
