PETER GILMORE
Executive chef, Bennelong and Quay, Sydney
I am beyond thankful that we were able to reopen the restaurants and get back to work between the two major NSW lockdowns. It has been a tough year for all and I am so glad that we were at home in Australia when we had to face a global pandemic – I feel that overall we have, and will continue to, get through this as best we can as a community by coming together. For all of its hardships, I am thankful 2021 allowed me to try my hand at ceramics, which has long been of great interest to me, having worked closely with my friend Paul Davis on a number of bespoke ceramics for Quay and Bennelong over the years. 2021 also granted me more time with my family throughout the lockdown, which was a huge positive, particularly as my boys get older.
