Food Legends day with Philip Johnson

Join us for an immersive day of culinary exploration at your local Miele Experience Centre. Tantalise your tastebuds with premium wine and delicious tastings while you relax and enjoy this informative demonstration from our local food hero, Philip Johnson.

New Zealand-born, Philip Johnson is one of Australia’s most celebrated chefs, honing his skills in Australia, London and New Zealand before settling in Brisbane which he now calls home.

Philip opened his landmark bistro, e’cco, in 1995 and very quickly made a name for himself with his win of the 1997 Remy Martin Cognac/Australian Gourmet Traveller Restaurant of the Year award, a stunning achievement for Philip, but also a coup for Queensland.

As one of Australia’s leading chefs, Philip contributes recipes to a multitude of book publications and has authored six of his own cookbooks. They all include a wonderful collection of recipes that are distinctively Philip Johnson – unpretentious food, simple yet stunning – and a reflection of the ideas and beliefs that have made e’cco the success it is today. Philip considers his cookbook ‘Eating In’, his best work yet.

27 years on, Johnson’s e’cco bistro has received a multitude of accolades and recognition and is currently a Good Food Guide hatted restaurant.
