Our Chefs - Neil and Luca
Neil first picked up the pans in his homeland of England, almost 20 years ago. Having the good fortune to learn the trade in Michelin starred restaurants dotted across the British countryside, Neil then moved to Australia, ending up in the Yarra Valley. Mandala is somewhat a return to his roots, being surrounded by farmland and the freshest produce is where Neil is most comfortable as a chef.
A native of Como, Italy, Luca joined the Mandala team in mid 2012. His main love is the cusine of his Northern Italian home, but he also brings a passion for learning and new techniques to the kitchen. He began his training while still at school in Italy, but has since expanded his career across the globe with influences from his time in France, America and Thailand evident in his style.
