Catch up with the latest thinking in the world of gastronomy, presented by MasterChef star – and former MFW Creative Director – Matt Preston.

It’s food for the brain, a rare insight into two of the world’s most controversial chefs and how they create the food that the world is talking about. Includes a drink and a nibble after final session. 

 

ANDONI LUIS ADURIZ

 

Session: STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OF TASTE

Submit or Rebel? Spain’s most intellectually challenging chef invites the diners to decide every night at Mugaritz, and now it is our turn, in an exclusive MasterClass workshop that will turn your ideas about flavour balance, food presentation and the art of dining upside-down. Andoni Luis Aduriz and his former head chef, Dan Hunter of the Royal Mail (Australian Gourmet Traveller’s Best Regional Restaurant 2010), promise a playful, stimulating and evocative session, a signpost to the future of global cuisine. Proceed with Caution, or Wrong Way, Go Back? You decide.

Moderator: Dan Hunter

MASSIMO BOTTURA

 

Session: ART, THEATRE, POLITICS, FOOD

Visionary chef Massimo Bottura, two star Michelin chef and 2009’s highest new entry in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants at number 13, is renowned for taking traditional Italian food from the past into the future, from his ink-black oyster and caviar risotto, and his ‘just-born fish’ to ‘Pollution’, a delicious but damning dish that predicts the future of our oceans in a bowl. Discover why Osteria Francescana in Modena in Northern Italy is on every foodie’s must-do list, as Massimo talks art, technique, tradition, inspiration and food trends while showcasing his most famous - and infamous – dishes.
