Peter Gordon is from Wanganui, New Zealand, and has lived in London for 12 years. A well-known chef in Britain and abroad, Peter set up The Sugar Club kitchens in Notting Hill and West Soho. Both restaurants have received many accolades from the press including Best Modern British Restaurant in 1996 and Best Central Restaurant in 1999 from the Time Out Restaurant Awards. Peter left The Sugar Club in November 1999, to begin various solo projects, culminating with The Providores and Tapa Room.
Peter's food style, loosely called Fusion, is inspired by his year of travel throughout South East Asia in 1985, and his continuing travels to all areas famous for their culinary delights. Recently, Peter participated in the prestigious 'Cuisines of the Sun' annual culinary event in Hawaii.
Peter is the author of two best selling cookbooks, The Sugar Club Cookbook (SOMA Books, 1998) and Cook at Home (Hodder & Stoughton, 2000), which was nominated for Best Cookery Book in the Guild of Food Writer's Awards. He is also a well-known personality on British television.
In 1999, Peter set up a fund-raising event called 'Who's Cooking Dinner?' to raise money for the the leukemia unit of London's Hammersmith Hospital. This involved getting nineteen of Britain's top chefs to cook exclusively for 190 guests. The annual Charity event continues to be a success and has raised over $500,000 to date.
Launched in May 2001, Peter developed a fusion-inspired range of ready-made meals for Marks and Spencer. Peter also consults for Air New Zealand, Meat New Zealand, and Changa restaurant in Istanbul.
