Meet the Business Owner
Mark J.
Business Owner
Unlike most chefs Mark Jensen did not start working in a professional kitchen until the age of 27. «At that time I was considering a career change but didn’t know what that change might be. I had to get away and consider my options so I moved to Byron Bay. I found work as a kitchen hand, surfed in the morning and washed pots at night for 6 months. During this time I became completely enamored with restaurant life.»
Mark decided that if he was going to be a successful Chef the right training would be essential. He moved back to Sydney and promptly obtained a position in Mathew Morans kitchen at the Paddington Inn Bistro. Mathew is renowned for using the freshest produce and constructing inspiring flavour combinations, always letting the produce itself take pride of place.
After three years with Matt, Mark moved to the Bennelong Restaurant — Sydney Opera House. Under the exceptional tutelage of Janni Krystis, he refined the techniques he had previously learned.
