We chat to leading West Australian chef Guy Jeffreys on the occasion of him stepping back from his executive chef role at Millbrook Winery after 13 years. It's been a long stint, during which Guy has developed a strong gardening program which drives the restaurant's menu. We talk about his farm-to-table approach, the famous No Waste Monday menu and the interesting issue of longevity as a chef.
