Chef John Lawson

"I have worked with and for some of the best in the business; Raymond Blanc, Gordon Ramsay, Gary Jones. I have had roles that have taken me around the world in 25 years of being a chef, I have appeared on television several times and cooked for some seriously famous VIP's & UHNW families.

Everything changed for me in May 2015, in the middle of the night I had a seizure.

I was rushed into hospital where they discovered I had a grade 2 brain tumour.

Aged 31, working as Executive Head Chef at the most prestigious hotel in Australia, I thought I was in perfect health! It came as a huge blow.

I suffered severe side effects of the seizure, which was closely followed by complications after they took a biopsy which resulted in loss of speech and brain damage.

I spent 6 weeks in re-hab to get well enough to have the surgery to have the tumour removed.

In October 2015 the tumour was removed successfully.

My journey begun to heal myself through food & other natural modalities of healing including yoga.

I would now like to help everyone benefit from eating wholesome food. And I am not talking about boring tasteless food, I mean REAL food, great produce that will taste amazing.

We are what we eat, we have to look after our bodies and nourish them.

The menus I have curated for your dining experienced are all based around health & wellbeing at the root.

They vary based on different dietry requirements, seasonal produce that is available organically using local farms.

I only use real whole foods, cooked with a loving intention and good energy in the kitchen towards healing.

I am excited to share my journey with you through my food wherever that maybe.
