Khanh Nguyen | Our Shared Future

About the event

Join King Clarence executive chef Khanh Nguyen and OzHarvest for a four-course dinner at Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney, all made using up to 95% beautiful, fresh and rescued NSW produce. Nguyen is a highly acclaimed Australian chef celebrated for his innovative approach to modern Southeast Asian cuisine. Drawing on his Vietnamese heritage and incorporating native Australian ingredients with sophisticated techniques, Nguyen has significantly shaped Melbourne and Sydney's dining landscapes with his distinct culinary vision. Celebrating rescued ingredients and social change, he and Refettorio’s team will develop a unique four-course menu, with two courses from Nguyen, and two from OzHarvest chefs. It’s part of OzHarvest’s Our Shared Future, a dinner series for Vivid Sydney, featuring seven of NSW’s most exciting chefs in one-night-only collaborations with Refettorio’s team.
