Get to know me better

Passionate, creative, versatile Chef with over 20 years culinary experience in Europe, Australia and Asia

Born near Hamburg, Tanja has over 20 years experience in the hospitality industry.

Classically trained in Germany, she worked for only the finest restaurants and hotels in Europe and spent 10 years prior to arriving in Australia as a Head Chef in gourmet and Michelin star restaurants in Switzerland.

Following her passion for other countries and cultures, Tanja enjoyed a lot of her time between jobs traveling.

She also worked for a few months in Bangkok, Singapore and Florida to explore different cooking styles and cuisines.

In 2012 Tanja took the challenge to relocate to Sydney to become the Executive Chef for Swissôtel Sydney, at that time, the only female Executive Chef in a 5 star hotel in Australia.

Tanja believes food should be enjoyable, clean and easy. She wants guests to experience new products and techniques so they can take something away with them, whether it be a new taste, surprising presentation or just a memory of a perfect evening with friends & family.

Tanja's passion is to create food which is fresh and simple, yet stunning and healthy, satisfying the highest standards and expectations.

Tanja's cooking style is classic european/french based inspired by asian techniques and flavours.
