Tom Sarafian
Based in Melbourne, Tom Sarafian is a renowned chef whose culinary style is largely influenced by his Armenian-Egyptian heritage and extensive travels through Lebanon, Armenia, Morocco, Iran, Spain, Greece, Beirut and Istanbul.  Tom has a slew of credits to his name, having worked in some of the best kitchens overseas like St John, Moro and Petersham Nurseries Cafe in the UK, and in Melbourne at Rumi and heading up the kitchen at Bar Saracen. From there, Tom forged a path with multiple sell-out pop-ups and residencies in venues across Australia, delivering his spin on their menus, before launching his own products under Sarafian Melbourne. His cooking style is defined by his innovative touches to heritage recipes, but arguably his most important contribution to the culinary world is his legendary hummus. Tom has shown us that hummus is more than just a dip, it is a whole meal in itself.  After years of anticipation, the pop-up chef is settling down in Melbourne’s CBD with two venues - a restaurant and bar paying homage to Tom’s grandfather, Zareh, alongside a daytime eatery and deli bearing the Sarafian name.

Hummus With Spanner Crab & King Prawn by Tom Sarafian & Gemma Leslie

With a recipe that took him years to perfect, Tom Sarafian is known for his hummus.

His Hummus with Spanner Crab and King Prawns is an amalgamation of his Egyptian-Armenian heritage, travels and stints in kitchens around the world, cementing itself as one of Melbourne's must-eat dishes.

 

Painted by Gemma Leslie, she transports us to the bustling streets of Alexandria, Egypt where Tom's grandparents once owned a restaurant, inspiring his love of food from birth. Each element is laid out lovingly on the table, an homage to the family feasts that Tom grew up with.
