Quay

I’m looking to nature for my inspiration. Letting the natural produce speak. There’s so much out there, so much elegance and beauty. To me, it’s about the organic nature of food and letting flavours and textures speak for themselves.

In my test garden I grow heirloom and rare plants to experiment with and then have them grown on a larger scale for Quay by farmers like Tim Johnson and Richard and Nina Kalina at their organic farm situated at Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. 

This "ground-breaking" relationship with Richard and Nina was established over 6 years ago and has seen the introduction of previously unavailable rare and heirloom vegetables for Quay and other Sydney restaurants.

Continuing on this journey with small independent growers will see even more beautiful and unique produce grace Quay’s menus.
