Gabriel Gate

Gastronomic guru.

Profile

Gabriel Gaté has that rare combination: he learned his craft from some of the great master chefs of France; he knows the reality of being a family cook with too little time; and he communicates with dazzling success both the joy of cooking and how to make tasty food that is simple, easy and, above all, achievable.

Gabriel was born in France in the Loire Valley in 1955 in a small village where his father grew all the family’s vegetables and made the family wine. He first learned to cook from his grandmother and mother and later trained as a chef in some of the best restaurants in France.

He met his Australian wife, Angie, when she was studying French at the Sorbonne and they moved to Australia in 1977.
