Alex Prichard Head Chef Icebergs Dining Room and Bar Bondi Saturday 14 October

Saturday 14 October 

Alex Prichard is venturing away from the hustle and bustle of his Bondi kitchen to share his expertise in a class aptly titled "The Art of Raw" at Moonacres School.

Alex will demonstrate the easy way to cook with raw foods with the effort going into the fun part which is sourcing fresh produce. Everything else is the simple touches and care. This is how he plans to be cooking when entertaining this spring and summer! 

Alex's teaching style is a harmonious blend of precision and creativity. He will take us through the process of selecting the finest raw ingredients, emphasizing the importance of quality and freshness. These raw ingredients will be transformed into works of culinary art under Alex's guidance. But as can be expected from a chef heading up our most iconic Sydney restaurant, it isn't just about raw food; it is about the artistry, the precision, and the love that goes into creating healthy and nourishing food.

We will be around the bench with Alex, creating crudites and seaweed kosho aioli, Chris Bolton coral trout crudo and tartare, terzini salad, avocado and radish salad and perfectly ripe fruit, cultured cream, strawberry gum syrup and sherbet (mint, fruity sage & orange blossom types).  Simple ingredients turned into visually stunning, palate-pleasing dishes. 

The class will conclude with a lunch prepared with Alex. Our classroom will be transformed into a vibrant dining space and we will gather around our warm and communal table to celebrate our collective efforts. To appreciate the subtleties of the ingredients and as we know with Alex, the connection and bonds that are created through food.

About Alex

Starting as a kitchen hand at Lochiel House in NSW’s Blue Mountains, he then apprenticed at Hugos and Momofuku before working at other prestigious venues. As his experience grew, so too did his appreciation of the ingredients he was using.

Alex has a huge love for native produce, small growers & producers. If he's not in the kitchen you will generally find him with his three rescue dogs and amazing wife or, out in the garden. We have the great privileged of welcoming Alex to Moonacres school.

Alex will be the guest chef at Moonacres Kitchen on Friday night for a sellout dinner, and 12 fortunate people will have the chance to cook side by side Alex for this four-hour class and lunch starting at 10am.

We would love you to gather some friends and book your seat to this amazing and one-off day.

Alex and the team at Moonacres look forward to seeing you soon.
