Born and bred in Melbourne, John's passion for sweet treats ignited in a humble local bakery. His career took off, sending him around the globe to learn and eventually lead the pastry sections in Michelin-starred kitchens in London, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. Back home, John made his mark as Executive Pastry Chef at Vue de Monde and helped launch restaurants such as Omnia and Yugen Dining. Crowned Australia's Dessert Master 2024, John's latest achievement is the icing on the cake. It's also the perfect catalyst for his next venture: opening his own bakery in Malvern, set to launch mid-2025! Join John for a cooking demonstration in the open Cooking School Kitchen at Lake House. MC’d by Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM, expect plenty of wow moments, tips, tricks and stories. The 90-minute demonstration will be followed by lunch in the Waterfront Pavilion with a special four course menu including 2 seasonal Lake House dishes and 2 of John’s signature desserts. Delicious.
