About Chef Explorer

Brendan Murphy has been cooking and travelling his way around the world since the 1980s. He is a fully qualified chef with over 40 years of experience, a teacher, and an author. Originally from England, he hitch-hiked his way around Europe in the early 80s to escape Britain’s unemployment crisis and fell in love with the culture and the food. After travelling in Europe all through the ’80s, he went back to Australia to work as a chef in Sydney and Cairns, progressing to Head Chef by the end of the decade.
