MEET THE TEACHER - CHEF KURT LOVELL

Kurt Lovell is a chef, food educator and father who’s been delighting crowds across the world for over 25 years. His wealth of experience spans high end restaurants across the globe , a number of local institutions, and countless classes.

After time in an executive role at Hamilton Island’s multi-award-winning Qualia, Kurt took time off to look after his first child, and it was then his current philosophy truly took shape. Already honed through his time as head chef at Brisbane’s Mondo Organics, with fatherhood came a heightened interest in his family’s health, the ingredients in their food and where they were coming from. Far from the typical chef’s lifestyle, Kurt transitioned to a paleo diet free from gluten, grains, dairy and refined sugar. The changes he experienced re-ignited his love for food and education.

Combining this approach with the techniques and attention to detail (and flavour!) developed throughout his career, he’s now driven to helping others find the same vitality and enjoyment - whether at his table or their own.
