With a desire to grow in the business, Michael went to attain his education at the Culinary Arts Academy in Paris. Michael later cut his teeth under several renowned Chefs in the industry including the Head Chef of the Academy where he was formally educated and the Head Chef of the 2 Michelin-star restaurant Sugar Club in London.
Michael arrived in Sydney in 2005 and worked in numerous restaurants within the 100 Group, as well as The Bathers’ Pavilion, Pink Salt in Double Bay and his successful catering business, de Pomegranate Catering. Michael now owns and runs Kepos Catering and Kepos Street Kitchen in Redfern, a restaurant that has won numerous accolades including “Best Café Food” in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Best Café Guide.
Together with his partner Kristy Frawley, Michael has published ‘Falafel for Breakfast’ and ‘Hummus & Co’, two cookbooks long listed for the Australian Book Industry Awards in the category of illustrated book of the year.
