Experience

Iain is the culinary genius of our team, he started out with a HND in Hotel Management in his birth country, Scotland. He went on to work in Aberdeen Hotels and later as Sous Chef and Head Chef on Cruise Ships and in the North Sea Oil Industry.

Iain and Jo then teamed up to run Minesite Catering Camps for 3 years where they provided thousands of meals per week to hungry miners. Jo organisational skills and background as a recruitment consultant kept everything running smoothly and was a bonus when it came to finding quality staff.

Kooka's Restaurant

1992 was a landmark year where Jo and Iain purchased Kooka's Restaurant. Hard work, Iain's flair in the kitchen and Jo's ability to create a well organised, relaxed and friendly atmosphere made Kooka's one of the most applauded country restaurant's in Western Australia. During their time at the helm Kooka's won numerous Gold Plate and RCA (Restaurant and Caterer's Association) awards and Iain's reputation as a chef resulted in invitations to judge the CIA's Chef of the Year Competition in 2000 and 2001.
