Restaurant Schwass:
It is easier to add more to a dish and to make it clever and more complicated. This is often to cover poor produce or bad technique and shows a real immaturity for the craft of cooking. It is my firm belief that the focus should be on the quality of the raw component of any dish.

As a chef my responsibility is to showcase stellar produce and use a healthy dose of restraint in how we prepare a dish. It is not unlike wine maker’s coaxing subtle flavours from a grape, which has been passed to them from the vineyard. In the kitchen at Restaurant Schwass we have a duty to uphold the veracity of the ingredient handed to us by our growers and farmers.
Handled with reverence and genuine understanding a simple dish can speak volumes for the integrity of the restaurant.

Jonny Schwass has been named in August 2011 as Cuisine Restaurant Personality of the Year 2011!
