Origins

Neil Perry was born 1962 in Sydney, Australia. He received no formal food training, however his father was a butcher and an avid fisherman, from whom he learned about the quality of meat. Also, he enjoyed Chinese food from a young age, and credits this for his appreciation of flavours. Started in the hospitality industry not as a chef, but through managing at Sails at the age of 19. Later worked with chefs such as Damien Pignolet and Stephanie Alexander.
