As much as the Produce Awards is about celebrating producers, farmers and growers, it’s equally important for us to recognise the crucial part that chefs play in presenting the produce to the consumer.

Troy Rhoades-Brown defines the produce-driven chef, sourcing locally and growing his own. “It’s easy to assume the culinary kings of our capitals are the ones carving a new path for food culture, but Troy Rhoades-Brown has other ideas,” says critics panel member Anthony Huckstep.

“At his restaurant Muse, in the heart of the Hunter Valley, he’s challenging our perceptions of country dining by cooking the produce of the region to an immaculate point of hesitation. His approach to cookery embodies the very ethos of the new wave of Australian cuisine, and as such, he may even help define Australian regional cuisine once and for all, if he hasn’t already”.
