In 1986 Paris-born Guillaume Brahimi was invited to join the kitchen of the legendary Joel Robuchon at the well known three-star Michelin restaurant, Jamin in Paris, as a nineteen year old apprentice. Four years later he was ready to accept his next challenge - a move to the other side of the world, Australia, where he became an Australian citizen in 1994.

After opening Pond, he took Bilsons (renamed Quay) to three chef hat status and then moved back into his own restaurant in 2001. Guillaume has presided over the spectacular Guillaume at Bennelong (the ‘outhouse’ next to the iconic Sydney Opera House), and opened the very chic Bistro Guillaume at Crown in Melbourne three years ago.

250g sashimi-quality tuna, in one piece

2.                   Pick basil leaves from stalks, blanch in boiling water then plunge into icy water

4.                   Make a vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, soy sauce and mustard seeds, adding lime juice to taste
