SG Caesar & Lemon Garlic Chicken Masterclass with Simon Gault

Master Two Legendary Dishes in One Exclusive Class!

Many years ago, when I first put a Caesar salad on the menu at my second restaurant, Gault’s on Quay, almost no one had heard of it—and it barely sold. Determined to change that, I got creative. I went to the local Volkswagen dealer and bought a bunch of VW hubcaps, using them as unique serving plates for my Caesar salads. Before long, they were the talk of the town, and suddenly, everyone wanted to try the best Caesar in Auckland (even if it was probably the only one in town at the time!).

Now, I invite you to experience first-hand what a first-class Caesar salad should taste like. In this exclusive lunch masterclass, I’ll take you through the art of crafting a truly unforgettable SG Caesar—from the signature dressing to the perfect egg, crispy pancetta, golden croutons, and stunning presentation.

After living in Italy, this is one of my favourite Italian recipes I created. But that’s not all. You’ll also master a second game-changing dish—my Lemon Garlic Chicken in a Silky Smooth Sauce, an elegant yet effortless meal, bursting with flavour and perfect for home entertaining.

If you love bold flavours, fresh ingredients, and mastering restaurant-quality dishes at home, this class is for you!
