Nourifard brings family feasts of his childhood to his menu. He also imbues it with flavours from other parts of his journey, particularly his culinary experiences in Japan and Australia, and he thanks his adopted country for the space to do this.
"Australian people are welcoming," he says. "If you're doing something new, people will come and celebrate you, without caring where you're from."
These dishes reflect the Persian head chef's route to Australia via Asia, but ultimately pay homage to his birthplace. "Am I the Japanese chef? No. I'm from Iran. I'm from Middle East. I'm a Middle Eastern chef," SBS Food.
