Ben Shewry is the chef patron of Melbourne's award-winning restaurant Attica and is one of Australia's most significant and influential chefs.  Under his direction, Attica has become one of Australia's best restuarants repeatedly winning awards,  Attica was ranked for a number of years in the San Pellegrino Top 100 Restaurants of the World, reaching #20.  Shewry, born and trained in New Zealand, has become a leading voice for sustainable, culturally sensitive and relevant food that reflects his personal experiences and philosophy.  His dishes, inspired by his surroundings, often highlight indigenous and local foraged ingredients and challenge and embrace contemporary Australasian issues of culture, time and place.

Evocatively and sumptuously photographed by Colin Page this is a powerful statement of a direction for contemporary Australian cuisine.
