Each session, which will highlight one individual Sous Chef, will encourage the industry and food lovers alike to openly applaud their ability, creativity and talent. Each participating Sous Chef in this series has the full support of their restaurant, Head Chef and mentor, for their own Sunday Sous Session,” says Aaron Teece, Founder of Studio NEON.

The first of four Sunday Sous Session events will feature nel. Restaurant’s Senior Sous Chef, Andy Ashby, who works alongside renowned head chef Nelly Robinson. nel. Restaurant is famed for its eight-course degustation menu that features the best local Australian produce and changes on a six-week rotation.

“It’s not very often our Sous Chefs get the opportunity to unleash their own personal style and flair and run a kitchen from start to finish. After having personally worked in some of the world’s top kitchens there is a true appreciation in the industry for the talent and dedication of Sous Chefs. Often the unsung heroes, Sous Chefs are juggling everything from budgets, suppliers, menu creation and working with the team from preparation to service. This is a chance to have the public experience and see firsthand what our Sous Chefs can do,” says Aaron.
