Daniel Wilson's Story
Auckland-born Daniel Wilson has always been a fan of food. At 12, he had already decided to become a chef and hasn’t stopped since. Wilson bucked the trend to head to Europe and chose to hone his craft in the USA, staging under chefs like Daniel Boulud in New York.
Moving to Melbourne a few years later, he worked with Andrew Blake in his eponymous Southgate restaurant. More international experience and hard work gained Daniel The Age Good Food Guide Young Chef of the Year 2003, alongside Blake’s Cafeteria colleague Emma Mackay. He’s done time at Jacques Reymond’s Arintji, as well as The Graham restaurant, but these days Daniel can be seen banging the pots and pans at his restaurant Huxtable or slinging burgers at Huxtaburger. Huxtabook is his first cookbook.
