Joining Karena Armstrong in the Glasshouse Kitchen are three chefs each blazing their own creative trail: Heidi Bjerkan, O Tama Carey and Alanna Sapwell.

Armstrong, co-owner and chef of McLaren Vale favourite The Salopian Inn, met Bjerkan at a hospitality forum in Oslo. She was impressed that the Norwegian, a Michelin-starred chef with multiple restaurants, remained hands-on in the kitchen - and captivated by her clean, bright and crisp dishes.

Carey and Armstrong worked together at Sydney's Billy Kwong. Their friendship spans more than 15 years and is grounded in the pleasure of cooking; the pair compare notes on running their own restaurants and gravitate to home kitchens when they're together. Carey has been widely praised for her Lankan Filling Station in Darlinghurst, where traditional Sri Lankan dishes are served in a fresh, modern context.

Sapwell is making waves as head chef of Brisbane's Arc Dining, a role that follows stints in Japan, Italy and Sydney's Saint Peter. Her kitchen sources produce from local farmers and its own lush garden. This emphasis on working sustainably is shared by Sapwell's fellow Glasshouse Kitchen chefs; guests will enjoy a menu of South Australian specialties, with seafood sure to feature.


A Note on Dietary Requirements
Glasshouse Kitchen menus are a convergence of South Australian regional produce at the height of its season. Our array of notable overseas, interstate and local chefs deliver sublime dining experiences, with a curated multi-course set menu. With this comes months of planning. Our cast of culinary stars will each create a unique one-off festival dish, or adapt an iconic signature dish to our local produce. Many of the dishes featured will simply not be suitable, or adaptable for particular dietary requirements by our visiting chefs, as some ingredients are embedded in prior preparations weeks out from the event.

The Glasshouse Kitchen can offer an alternative vegetarian and coeliac menu should it be requested at the time of booking. This menu, however, may not be designed or executed by the visiting chefs. If the opportunity to enjoy a meal from one of our festival stars is why you're thinking of joining us, we urge you to explore other events in the program that may be more tailored to your needs. But if the allure of our incredible Glasshouse Kitchen dining experience is what's piqued your interest, talk to us on TastingAustralia@sa.gov.au before booking and we will see what can be made possible.
