About Me

thebackyardchef: I am a self confessed food lover from seed to saucer and all in between. I've been working in the food industry for over 20 years now in various roles from the farms and vineyards to the cafe and restaurants and currently in the food processing industry making specialty bakery products on mass scale for the supermarket chains.My inspiration for playing with food comes from other contempory chefs, books and blogs but mostly I draw it from my garden. As I have a passion for post harvest processing, 0 food miles,slow food and the collection and use of unusual ingredients including wild harvested foods. My style usually consists of 4 to 5 elements, remixing old classics using contempory techniques and presentations. Ingredients are chosen by their food pairing attributes and similarities. Some of my dishes are adaptations of chefs previous presentations as one must learn from somewhere and eventually take flight themselves and even then continue to stay in touch and adapt to the current trends.
