Remembering Patrick O’Brien OAM

It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Patrick O’Brien OAM, a deeply loved and respected member of the Australian food community. Patrick was not only a long-standing leader within the Australian Culinary Federation but also a cherished mentor and advocate for chefs and young professionals across the nation. His impact on the hospitality industry and countless lives will forever be remembered.

Patrick’s remarkable journey began at St Mary’s College of Catering in Ireland, where his talent saw him work in renowned restaurants before making Australia his home. His drive to nurture the next generation of chefs took him from kitchens into the world of education, first through Hospitality Group Training and later at North Metropolitan TAFE (NMTAFE), where he spent 18 transformative years. As the Director of Hospitality, Tourism, and Culinary Arts at NMTAFE, Patrick’s influence extended beyond classrooms. He led 87 staff at the Joondalup campus, building a program that shaped future foodservice professionals and set a benchmark for excellence. His passion for inspiring students to achieve their best resulted in extraordinary success – guiding young chefs to gold medals at the Culinary Olympics and international competitions across Germany, India, and Thailand.

Patrick’s ability to elevate others defined his career. From mentoring individuals who now excel in prestigious restaurants worldwide to personally coaching national culinary teams, his dedication was unwavering. He was an enthusiastic advocate, holding roles such as WA President and National Board Member of the Australian Culinary Federation, Master Craftsman with the Catering Institute of Australia, and Worldchefs Grade A Judge. In recognition of his lifelong service, Patrick was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), an honour he humbly embraced, saying, “I love what I do because I get to make a difference to young people’s lives. Encouraging them to be the best they can possibly be.”

Patrick was also celebrated with numerous awards, including the President’s Award for Education from the World Association of Chefs’ Societies and induction into the Restaurant and Caterers Hall of Fame. Beyond the professional realm, Patrick gave generously to community initiatives, recruiting volunteers for causes like the Cancer Council Joondalup Fun Run and the Long Table Lunch for Breast Cancer.

On International Chefs Day, Patrick left us – a fitting final gesture from a man who gave his heart and soul to the industry. His passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of his wife Rose, children Ann Maree, Anthony, and Martina, and their families, as well as among his colleagues, friends, and the countless chefs he inspired.

“Patrick was not only a colleague but a dear friend who touched my life in ways words cannot describe. We shared a love for our Irish heritage and a passion for nurturing young chefs. His kindness, wit, and unwavering dedication left an indelible mark on me and everyone fortunate enough to know him. I adored him and will forever treasure the memories we shared.”

–Karen Doyle, President of the Australian Culinary Federation

“Patrick was the kind of person you only meet once in a lifetime. He was a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration. Working alongside him was a privilege, but it was his friendship that I valued most. Patrick’s generosity of spirit, his humour, and his ability to lift those around him will never be forgotten. I’ll miss him dearly.”

-Peter Tischhauser, close friend of Patrick

Patrick’s work was never about personal recognition; it was about building something meaningful, nurturing potential, and making a lasting impact. Today, we honor his legacy, knowing that his influence will continue to thrive in the kitchens and careers he helped shape.
Patrick O’Brien OAM – leader, mentor, and friend – your legacy lives on in every meal prepared with heart, every student encouraged to chase their dreams, and every chef inspired to make a difference.

Rest peacefully, Patrick, we will miss you and everything you stood for.

Patrick O’Brien OAM dedicated his life to mentoring, inspiring, and uplifting chefs around the world. Now, it’s our turn to give back.
The Australian Culinary Federation is raising funds to bring Patrick home from Singapore and help his beloved wife Rose and family with funeral expenses. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference during this challenging time. Let’s honor Patrick with the farewell he deserves.

Trends and Predictions: The Evolution of Fine Dining and the Art of Tableware

As diners increasingly seek experiences that transcend the ordinary, chefs are embracing more original and less conventional approaches to the mise en place, like using unconventional plating techniques, edible art or creating multi-sensory, personalized, dishes. This shift towards innovation in tableware is not merely a superficial change but rather an integral part of the dining experience, where the vessel becomes as important as the food it holds.

Minimalist and Organic Designs

The aesthetic trends for the tableware leans towards minimalist and organic designs. These styles reflect a desire for more relaxed, casual dining experiences, even in fine dining and luxury settings. The traditional plates that have long dominated dining tables are gradually being replaced by more avant-garde shapes, offering a canvas for creativity that allows each dish to be showcased as a unique work of art. Brands like Le Coq Porcelaine, whose collections are not only renowned for their quality but also for their ability to complement the chef’s vision, offer an array of distinctive shapes and designs, providing unique pieces that stand out in both casual and high-end environments, ensuring that the dining experience is not only a celebration of taste but also a feast for the eyes and the senses.

Functionality and Versatility

With the ongoing demand for multifunctional items, tableware that serves multiple purposes—such as pieces that can be used for different dishes than the ones they are originally made for—will see increased popularity. The finest establishments are turning to brands that understand the nuances of this new direction, seeking out pieces that blend form and function with aesthetic appeal. 

Sustainability and Nature

As sustainability becomes an ever-more pressing concern and more people, especially younger generations, are pushing for change through activism and sustainable living, the future of fine dining is also likely to see a greater focus on eco-conscious practices within the Ho.re.ca sector. This extends from sourcing local ingredients to selecting sustainable tableware. 

Conclusions

The convergence of these trends—innovative mise en place, the use of avant-garde tableware, and a commitment to sustainability—signals a new era in fine dining. Chefs and hospitality professionals are being called upon to rethink every element of the dining experience. As such, the partnership between culinary innovators and brands like Le Coq Porcelaine is set to become even more vital, ensuring that the future of fine dining is as much about visual delight as it is about gastronomic excellence.

As the Global Chefs Challenge unfolds, we invite you to see how the designs inspire and enhance the culinary artistry that will define the generation of great chefs. This year, thanks to the partnership with Q Industries, we will see these culinary visions come to life on none other than Le Coq Porcelaine’s collections. The plates used for the competitions blend the features discussed so far, from the versatility of the double faced texture of the gourmet trays, to the minimalist and organic design of the gourmet plates.

About Le Coq Porcelaine

Le Coq Porcelaine, Frames for Chefs, stands out as the canvas of choice for chefs who desire to align the tableware to their culinary philosophies.

The brand was born in Florence, the artistic epicenter of Italy, and was acquired by ILSA s.r.l. in 2019. From here Le Coq Porcelaine embarked on a new journey to redefine the dining experience through modern tableware for the Ho.Re.Ca. and banqueting industry, by designing the perfect backdrop for each culinary artistic presentation.
