The release of the first wine, the first melon or the walnut harvest. All of those festivals were hosted by local communities to promote their produce, as well as show appreciation for the land and to celebrate their hard work. I have very fond memories of those moments and they have influenced my food philosophy. I believe that the food on your plate is not only about taste and presentation, but the region, the climate, the soil and the hard work of its people. I admire the passion of the Queensland growers and producers. It is a privilege for me to work and live in Tropical North Queensland, The following menus have where the wilderness of the rainforest is a source of creativity and been developed to cater for the wonder of the reef is a source of inspiration. I have truly found a broad range of tastes and the ideal environment to bring my philosophy to fruition. to keep a balanced meal Executive Chef Benjamin Boudaud plan through the day.
