Tom Walton is a highly acclaimed award-winning chef and restaurant entrepreneur. He grew up in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, immersed in the vegetable gardens and kitchen of a Lebanese neighbour, his adopted grandmother. Her influence opened his heart and palate to a world of Middle Eastern food and culture that continues to fuel and inspire his cooking today. In recent years, his family-friendly recipes for the home cook have inspired a tribe of dedicated fans who love his approach to food which he calls 'deliciousness': less-is-more, riotously colourful, veg-centric, boldly flavoured food that just happens to be healthy. Tom lives with his wife and three young children between Sydney and Byron Bay.
