Christine Manfield

Christine Manfield is one of Australia's most celebrated and influential chefs, restaurateurs, authors, and gastronomic travellers. She is renowned for her bold and adventurous approach to cooking, particularly her masterful use of spices and global flavours, and her iconic dessert creations. Christine is often described as a "spice queen" or "global nomad" due to her deep understanding and innovative incorporation of diverse culinary influences, particularly from India, Southeast Asia, and other exotic destinations. She truly "woke people up to the flavours and influences from around the world through her food," as Nigella Lawson famously stated.
