Sunday Supper Club: Chef AK
Posted on
When’s the last time you enjoyed a three-course meal cooked by one of Canberra’s leading chefs for less than $50 per person?
That’s the concept of the Sunday Supper Club, presented in collaboration with Winning Appliances. That’s right, it’s back in 2019—bigger and better than ever—and it’s kicking off with one of Canberra’s most exciting young chefs!
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS
On the first Sunday of each month, the Winning Appliances’ Kingston showroom is transformed into an intimate dining environment for just 24 guests.
The next event features Chef Anand Ramakrishna (AK) from XO at a Sunday Supper Club that’s all about Malay and South East Asian cuisine with a distinctly modern edge.

You’ll watch AK whip up his creations in the Winning Appliances demonstration kitchen and hear the story of his food journey in a conversation hosted by HerCanberra CEO Amanda Whitley. Your ticket price includes matched wines and entertainment.
You’ll leave not only with full stomachs but with loads of ideas and inspirations for entertaining at your place.
ABOUT THE CHEF
Classically trained in French culinary arts from Taylor’s University in the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts, Anand Ramakrishna (AK) brings a unique perspective to Malay and South East Asian cuisine driven by a passion for method, process and provenance that is part of the DNA of XO.
AK’s approach to food is influenced by coming up through some of the most well-respected kitchens in Malaysia (including the Mandarin Oriental and Hilton hotels in Kuala Lumpur) before cooking at Stella Blue in Dee Why and taking the reigns as head chef at Stella Italian Kitchen on Collaroy Beach.
Experience in Asian and European cuisine in large and small room dining settings quickly established AK as an open-minded and highly adaptable young chef known for his keen eye and playful approach to placing traditional cuisine in a modern Australian landscape.
Most recently, AK has been instrumental in the development of innovative food programs for well-known names in the Canberra and Sydney dining scene including the Chairman Group’s flagships Malamay and Lanterne Rooms, as well as opening the Lodge and Dinner by the Cakeman in Lane Cove.
Opening XO in 2015 was the culmination of a life-long dream that ties together the threads of a career that has traversed the geographical and culinary spectrum of South East Asia, Europe and Australia. Now firmly rooted in Narrabundah, AK is passionate about exploring the potential of Canberra region produce, creating dishes with his now well-recognised XO signature.
