  • It’s a Chef’s Life

    Fancy slaving over a hot stove? Philippa Sibley-Cooke, owner-chef of Est Est Est and Marcus Moore, executive-chef of the Sofitel Hotel, offer many insights to their careers and successes. Their working conditions, however, could not be more different, as they are for their respective apprentices, Joseph and Renae. They discuss their influences, their daily routines, the creation of menus, and the selection of staff and what they expect from their apprentices. Joseph and Renae, too, relate their experiences. Away from the frenzy of the kitchen, Claude Forell, food critic and editor of The Good Food Guide, gives the recipe for a rave review and Judi Sanford from Box Hill Institute of TAFE (training institute for Jamie Oliver’s ‘Fifteen’ Resurant Australia), examines the food industry from her perspective as Program Manager of Cookery.
