Georgia van Prehn
Georgia spent most of career working in kitchens in Melbourne. Returning to New Zealand in 2019 to take her first position as head chef at scotch wine bar. That same year the restaurant was awarded one hat in the Cuisine Good Food Awards. In 2021 she opened Alta restaurant, a then small restaurant focusing on seasonal produce, preserves and minimal waste.
Now at Mr Morris, fusing her ethos with the wood fired barbecue and a more rustic approach she was awarded ‘one to watch’ from Cuisine Good Food Awards 2024.
Georgia would describe her food as “playful and inspired by classics, art and nature. heralding vegetables in assuming ways using rustic techniques.”
