Originally from New Zealand, Mike began training as an architectural designer while working in a kitchen.
His love for food soon took over, and after completing a Cooking Diploma he found himself in hot demand working and teaching cooking classes around the world.
He’s travelled everywhere from the Caribbean, to a Japanese Restaurant in Brazil, and now he’s back to the small South Pacific Island of Rarotonga.
Mike’s passion always comes back to simple quality ingredients and discovering great local combinations with a strong emphasis on visual appeal.
