About the Author

One of Australia’s most successful chefs and restauranteurs, Andrew McConnell brings exceptional attention to detail and trend-setting style to everything he does. His groundbreaking restaurant group Trader House operates critically acclaimed venues such as Gimlet, recently named number 84 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022 longlist. His stable also includes fine diner Cutler and Co, wine bar Marion, all-day icon Cumulus Inc, classic pub Builders Arms Hotel, and gÙourmet grocer Meatsmith. He is the author of Cumulus Inc (Penguin) and Supernormal (distributed by Hardie Grant) and the upcoming Meatsmith (Hardie Grant). Andrew's professional experience was in classical European cooking, but his passion for Asian food was ignited while living and working in China for five years heading kitchens in Hong Kong and Shanghai. He immersed himself in the local home cooking and vibrant street food culture of not only Chinese food, but also Korean and Japanese cuisine. This diverse culinary background led to the distinct cuisine found on the menu at Supernormal.
