Influence Unlocked “Life’s too short for shortcuts” with Luke Mangan
My guest for this episode is a household name for Australian foodies. A school dropout at 15, Luke Mangan discovered a love of cooking through an apprenticeship with Herman Schneider at Melbourne restaurant Two Faces. In the three decades since then, Luke has made his culinary influence felt through dozens of restaurants as well as on P&O cruise ships, Virgin Australia Business Class and on the Eastern Oriental Express. He has also released several bestselling cookbooks and his own line of products, and in 2019 was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia.
While he has experienced the heights of success including cooking for the likes of Richard Branson, Tom Cruise and the Queen, Luke has also weathered storms in his career. The pandemic has been a moment of reckoning for everyone in hospitality, and Luke has some words of wisdom to offer on how to get through to the other side.
Luke’s Five in Five shout-out: Restaurant Leo, and everyone else in hospitality who is just trying to hang on and make it through this time.
