Food Wine Sleep

Chris arrived in Perth eighteen years ago from Wangaratta, Victoria. He consistently supports the philosophy of using local produce and "letting the produce speak for itself". It is a fine sentiment to harbour but cooking skills are needed to bring out the best of the produce. In the past fifteen years Chris has committed himself to promoting the use of Western Australian produce both overseas, locally and at Fraser's Restaurant.

The WA Tourism Commission and the West Australian Government frequently employ Chris to promote the very best that WA has to offer through cooking classes, high profile dinners and gala events.

Chris continues to travel extensively nationally and internationally educating chefs and providores of the quality of produce available from Western Australia. He has travelled to Bali, Mauritius, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, Phuket, Jakarta, Zimbabwe, London, Ireland and throughout Australia, hosting cooking classes, dinners and gala events.

Chris Taylor regularly hosts cooking classes and special events, predominantly at Fraser's Restaurant in Kings Park, where he spends most of his time fulfilling the role of Executive Chef. He also happily extends an invite to the public to dine inside the busy Fraser's kitchen at one of his 'Kitchen Tables'. Here guests gain an insight into the life of a chef and how the kitchen operates, whilst enjoying a specially created degustation menu with wines to match.

Tapas and dim sum are favourites of Chris’, meals where one can experience lots of small tastes, and many different flavours. Hence, he is big on degustation meals - a culinary term meaning, "a careful, appreciative tasting of various foods", which focuses on the senses, and high culinary art. Chris takes delight in offering these special meals to his guests at Fraser’s.
