Jimmy Callaway

Jimmy Callaway has worked as a professional chef for over fifteen years at some of Sydney's top restaurants, including the Four in Hand Dining Room, Oscillate Wildly and Firedoor.

After leaving Firedoor, he pursued a food pilgrimage to Euroe and settled in Emilia-Romagna, a region in the north of Italy, where he lived above a restaurant, learned to make pasta and educated himself on the Italians' uncompromising passion for regionality and produce.

Through travel, Jimmy has gained a passion for understanding people and culture through the lens of food. He also works as a freelance recipe developer and food writer for publications like Gourmet Traveller, and in food production for television. Cult Sando is his first cookbook.
