ROSALIN VIRNIK

PRIVATE CHEF | CULINARY EXPERT

Rosalin Virnik’s culinary voyage has been nothing short

of extraordinary, spanning across the diverse realms

of the food industry. With almost three decades of

experience, she has risen to become a true veteran,

leaving an indelible mark in each chapter of her

culinary journey.

With two decades of experience in traditional food

manufacturing, Rosalin cultivated her skills and

developed an unwavering passion for procuring the

finest Australian ingredients. This revelation sparked

her commitment to seek out and use only real, local,

and seasonal ingredients, appreciating the value

of building strong relationships with suppliers and

producers.

Rosalin’s culinary journey has been diverse,

encompassing the establishment of a food school and

the successful creation of two renowned restaurants:

Curly Whiskers, a delightful French Bistro, and Anchor,

an inspired Mediterranean eatery nestled in Melbourne’s

Bayside suburb of Elwood. At these establishments,

Rosalin showcased her culinary prowess and dedication

to sourcing quality ingredients, impressing discerning

diners with her innovative creations and exceptional

culinary skills.

Having built a solid reputation in the restaurant industry,

Rosalin has now embarked on a new chapter as a Private

Chef. Fuelled by her love for crafting nutritious and

experiences or the challenge of accommodating the

diverse dietary and nutritional needs of a large family,

her mastery of food and personalised approach enables

her to craft menus that not only dazzle the taste buds

but also resonate with the clients on a personal and

emotional level.

Her commitment to sustainability is another aspect that

defines Rosalin Virnik as a chef. She champions the use

In the world of gastronomy, few chefs have made as

significant an impact as Rosalin Virnik. As a private chef,

she has elevated the concept of personalised dining

experiences to new heights, mesmerising the palates of

her clients with her innovative creations and exceptional

culinary skills.

At the core of Rosalin’s culinary philosophy lies her

unwavering commitment to understanding and seeking

out the best quality ingredients, which naturally lends

itself to building meaningful relationships with suppliers,

producers, and clients. Her dedication to sustainability

and local sourcing further reflects her passion for real

food, which stems from and is fuelled by the forensic

detail she goes into when sourcing ingredients. The

health of the soil and environment, local biodiversity,

allotted space and freedom of movement for animals, as

well as processing methods applied are all considered

due to their impact on nutritional density and flavour.

Organic, biodynamic, ethically sourced, sustainable,

local, seasonal, small-batch, hand-crafted, processedto-

order, and pasture-raised. These are details for most

people but mere headlines for Rosalin, who approaches

ingredient selection like a scientist.

As a long-time participant within the Australian food

industry, Rosalin Virnik has proven herself to be not

only a masterful chef but also an artisan ingredient

whisperer. Her intimate knowledge of the ingredients

she uses, paired with her traditional cooking techniques,

results in dishes that are not only delicious but also tell

a story of dedication, passion, and authenticity.

Rosalin’s culinary prowess has earned her notable

recognition, but what truly fuels her passion is serving

her clients truly exceptional meals. The connections she

builds with them go beyond the dining table, and she

takes pride in being able to touch their lives through her

culinary understanding.
