Early life and career beginnings…
Peter was born in the New Zealand coastal town of Whanganui. He moved to Melbourne in 1981 and completed a three year chef apprenticeship at William Angliss College, cooking in Melbourne restaurants before travelling for a year throughout Asia. This period of travel and exploration was to become the greatest influence on his culinary style. In 1986, he returned to Wellington, New Zealand, to set up the kitchen at the original The Sugar Club restaurant.
London and Fusion…
In 1989, after two and a half years running The Sugar Club kitchen, Peter made the move to London, where he gradually introduced his eclectic style of cuisine, now called Fusion.
