Neil Perry had students burning with excitement as he presented an Asian Masterclass at NSI's Ryde College recently.
Neil Perry is one of Australia’s leading and most influential chefs, and owns and manages several quality restaurants across Australia including Sydney’s famous ‘Rockpool’ restaurant.
Eager to learn as much as they could from the culinary icon, commercial cookery students from across the college watched on as Neil Perry created two flavoursome dishes.
Neil demonstrated how to cook Beef Fillet in Fire Water as well as Leatherjacket Drowned in Heaven Facing Chillies and Sichuan Peppercorns, sharing cooking techniques and information on ingredients with students.
Students were also able to ask Neil questions while he cooked and were able to taste his delicious creations.
Neil said it was a great to be able to share some of his knowledge and experiences as a chef with the students.
“My recent Masterclass at Ryde TAFE was such a great moment for me. I enjoyed seeing the bright, young and eager faces before me – and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to impart a little of what I do to the next generation,” he said.
“It is vital in this industry that we share our knowledge and nurture the talent this country breeds.
“Classes like this, and institutions like TAFE are a necessary resource.
“I look forward to the next one.”
