With a firm commitment to ethical sourcing and a “paddock-to-plate” philosophy\, Simmer Culinary delivers personalized dining experiences that highlight the best of local produce. Adding another layer to his culinary pursuits\, Andrew spearheads the Gastronomique Development Kitchen\, a high-performance training ground where chefs and apprentices sharpen their skills for elite-level cookery competitions. Here\, precision\, discipline\, and the occasional existential crisis over plating techniques come together in pursuit of culinary excellence. Andrew’s most prized role? Captain of the Australian National Culinary Team. Under his leadership\, the team secured silver and bronze at the 2024 Culinary Olympics and clinched 5th place at the World Global Chef Challenge—an impressive feat\, though he’ll always have his sights set on the top of the podium.

From Taste of Sydney\, Melbourne\, Perth\, and Darwin to the Good Food & Wine Show across all major cities\, and even the fiery spectacle that is The Fire Kitchen at Vivid Sydney\, Andrew and his crew keep the burners hot and the crowds well-fed—often spending up to 28 weeks a year on the road.
