WHO IS JOHN RELIHAN?

John Relihan is an Irish man but an international chef who cooks diverse dishes from around the world. He is always pushing boundaries, exploring new cultures, and building relationships via food.

John is very interested in people, he has great stories to tell and has garnered great experience from his extensive travels. He strongly believes that people can connect through food and even if people don’t understand each other’s spoken word, – the food can do the talking. John Relihan has huge respect for the animals that he cooks. He uses as much of the animal as possible so that nothing is wasted and has learnt great ways of butchering meat and using various parts of the animal from his time in South America. He believes that food should be about sharing, it shouldn’t be too formal and enjoying food should be as much as social occasion and chance to enjoy people’s’ company as it is about consuming the food.

He firmly believes that the greatest food memories are made around a fire and loves to share fiery feasts with his family and friends.
