New exec chef for Park Hyatt Melbourne
Park Hyatt Melbourne has appointed Mark Sainsbury as its new executive chef.
Bringing over 25 years of hospitality experience, he joins Park Hyatt Melbourne direct from The Montagu Kitchen at Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill.
Sainsbury said he really liked the atmosphere at Park Hyatt Melbourne.
“I like that everyone from top to bottom are genuinely there to help, prime example is the large plate ups we do in the events kitchen, where, staff from the other departments have their sleeves rolled up and assist us in quickly serving 450 main course dishes,” he said.
Upholding Hyatt's food philosophy of “Food. Thoughtfully sourced, Carefully served”, Sainsbury’s menus will reflect the region's seasonal produce. Describing his cooking style as eclectic, he says he is currently fond of Middle Eastern influences.
“We recently worked on a project on British food and that was really interesting,” he said. “It took me back to my roots and classical training. So I would say I draw from a number of countries in which I have worked in the past.”
