Our journey begins with Stefaan Codron, a talented chef from Belgium. Stefaan's culinary passion started at a young age, and he honed his skills in a local Belgian bistro. He then pursued formal training at the Hotel school in Koksijde and further developed his expertise under the mentorship of Michel Lorain in France. Stefaan's love for French cuisine and quality ingredients led him to Australia, where he spent 13 years as an executive chef with Hyatt. He later worked as a development chef for Lite n' Easy and Domino's Australia, showcasing his culinary talents on a global scale.

Jonathan Wong, born in Malaysia, discovered his true passion for food while studying electrical engineering in the United States. He made a bold move to Brisbane, Australia, leaving behind his IT consulting career to pursue his love for French and European cuisines. Alongside his commercial kitchen experience, Jonathan also runs his own food styling business. His dedication to creating dishes out of love and his sweet tooth led him to become a development chef for Domino's Australia and New Zealand.
