“You have to be careful about how and what you present on a menu, to suit the taste of your customers and still be true to yourself… you have to be clever about it”

Russell Armstrong

“The power of an object is often not able to be explained simply in terms of it’s physical make-up.  The issues of touch and smell and the memories they may evoke, are part of the materials power to elicit a response.”

“The texture and flavour of food can evoke such powerful memories.  Memory is what makes us human and as a chef we can impose and recall memory from what we put on the plate.  It is part of ourselves that we put there each time.”  

Russell Armstrong
