How they describe their cooking

I am a passionate personal chef dedicated to creating unique culinary experiences. With a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, I specialise in custom meal planning to suit your dietary preferences. Of Croatian heritage (and a dual citizen) I learnt as many do from the skirt tales of their grandmothers and aunties.

I have also trained in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, holding a Certificate III in Asian Cuisine, I served my apprenticeship with award winning chef's Mark Jensen and Luke Ngyuen at Red Lantern Restaurant in Sydney

PARIS MATCH - THE FOOD THAT FED THE KINGS

PARIS MATCH - THE FOOD THAT FED THE KINGS

French · Seafood

There's a reason why French Cuisine became the number one cuisine prized by chefs. From the early researched recipes of Auguste Escoffier (the first chef to write an internationally recognised book on French Cuisine) to the modern takes on classic favourites from Alain Ducasse, Paul Bocusse, and Thomas Keller among others. Rich in history, and as close to being there unless you can BE there. Chef Mishka has studied and eaten extensively in France from Paris to Nice.
