Food: Slow, local with a French connection

Join us to hear Xavier Poupel talk about his passion for food and living!

Xavier PoupelXavier Poupel, dual French/Australian citizen born in Normandy, France, is a highly credentialed Escoffier trained Chef. Xavier has worked internationally and Australia wide and has extensive experience in Fine Dining, French Bistro, Fusion and modern Australian cuisine, as well as his ‘specialty-styles’ of cuisine with Flowers, and cuisine with Truffles.

Fuelled by his own strong food and family traditions, Xavier’s passion has long been ‘Provincialstyle cuisine or Peasant Food’.

True to his French traditional leanings, his approach is simple:

‘Quality seasonal produce first, with as little manipulation as possible; the idea is to enhance, not mask, natural flavours.’
