About the chef

John’s career in restaurants, hotels and food companies, coupled with a busy culinary competition roster has taken him from his native Australia to Germany, France and Mexico before finally settling in Canada. He’s represented Australia at the Culinary Olympics and also the prestigious Bocuse d’Or competition in France. After meeting Ferran Adria (el bulli, Spain) in 2006, John was inspired to launch Modern Culinary Academy to promote the awareness and education of molecular cuisine. His articles on the subject can be found in Food in Canada Magazine, YFM, Foodservice and Hospitality Magazine and from time to time in The Toronto Star.
