The sharpest learning curve of Paul Baker's career came when he joined the kitchen at Sydney fine-diner Aria just after finishing high school. Now head chef at Adelaide's Botanic Gardens Restaurant, Baker has invited his former boss Matt Moran to join him in the Glasshouse Kitchen.

With them will be Troy Rhoades-Brown, who established Muse Restaurant in the Hunter Valley after a stint working at London's iconic The Ledbury. Another chef who knows the British capital well is Thomas Johns; he trained there before making his way to Australia and becoming sous chef at Aria, then executive chef and owner of fellow Sydney restaurant Pello. Johns now works as a personal chef across the city.

A love for produce unites this talented team. Each has enormous technical skill, used not as trickery but rather to show the freshest fare at its best.  

Moran, a fourth-generation farmer responsible for six Sydney restaurants, pioneered the paddock-to-plate ethos in Australia. Through Aria alone he trained a new generation of chefs who have gone on to shape dining across the nation. 

This Glasshouse Kitchen unites four stars to celebrate South Australia's bounty. Expect a deft touch and delicious food as this extraordinary bunch combines their powers.

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.
