There is so much more to being an Inspiring Chef's than simply knowing the techniques. Many of our chefs began as home-cooks, learning from the best (their mums, grandparents and great-grandparents!) and training at that most-esteemed academy, the culinary school of life. Our chefs are individually chosen because they bring something special to the table.



An Inspiring Chef's needs to have flair, a sense of flavour, a great story, the ability to help you get to know your food as you learn to cook and, most importantly, passion, which will shine through. Our chefs come from Slavonia and have a variety of different backgrounds, simply click on their pictures below to learn more and get cooking!
