Carriageworks has announced a masterclass on Autumn Umami with iconic Australian chef Peter Gilmore, Executive Chef of Bennelong and Quay, to be held on Saturday 18 April, 10am – 12pm.
Watch Peter cook Bone Marrow Pasta with Shitake & Kombu Butter and Purple Corn Polenta with Smoked Oxtail Broth, and ask him questions as he leads this unique masterclass.
Peter Gilmore is the Executive Chef at two of Australia’s most exciting and dynamic restaurants; Bennelong at the Sydney Opera House and Quay in The Rocks.
Gilmore is one of the most awarded chefs in Australia – Quay has been awarded Three Chefs Hats for an unprecedented 18 consecutive years and named Restaurant of the Year six times in The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide. In 2019, Peter was named Chef of the Year after Quay’s major reinvention which saw him create an entirely new menu. This also resulted in Quay ‘s listing at #3 in Australian Gourmet Traveller’s 2020 Restaurant Guide, where the restaurant has held three stars for 17 years. In 2020 Quay was awarded Hottest Restaurant in NSW and Most Iconic Dish in the Weekend Australian Hot 50. Quay was listed for five years on the World’s 50 Best Restaurant list and held the title of Best Restaurant in Australasia for three of those years. Peter, along with the Fink Group, reopened Bennelong restaurant in the Sydney Opera House in July 2015 to critical acclaim taking out the title for ‘Best New Restaurant’ at all three major Australian Restaurant Awards.
Across both restaurants, Peter describes his cuisine as food inspired by nature and as a passionate gardener himself, he was one of the first chefs in Australia to embrace heirloom varieties of vegetables and continues to work in partnership with small and artesian producers who cultivate bespoke produce exclusively for both Quay and Bennelong. Peter collaborates with a range of producers across Australia, from the fishermen who hand dive and line catch the seafood he serves to the farmers who rear rare breed animals with superior flavour and texture for the table. Peter’s appreciation of nature’s diversity and his endless experimentation in the kitchen and garden are the driving forces in his cooking.
