Luke Mangan is one of Australia’s leading chefs and is internationally regarded as one of the country’s best known exports. He currently owns and operates a number of award-winning restaurants both within Australia and abroad, including glass brasserrie at the Hilton Sydney, Salt and the adjoining World Wine Bar in Tokyo and South food + wine bar in San Francisco. Luke is also scheduled to open a gastropub called The Palace by Luke Mangan at the former Palace hotel site on City Road, South Melbourne in late 2009.
Luke launched his product range, Luke Mangan Providores, in 2009, featuring a range of spices, oils, vinegars, condiments, wines, tea, coffee and desserts. The distinctive product range is unique in that it involves close working partnerships between Luke and leading artisan producers whose quality produce he wishes to champion. Indeed, Luke’s vision for the range is to profile the produce he believes in and which he has hand-selected and uses in his kitchens.
