Food is for sharing, for marvelling at, for playing with, for challenging, for comforting, and for informing. Each of us indulges in food at least twice a day, so what better vessel for fuelling interaction?

Cole Thomas communicates through cuisine. His food aims to be provocative without being irreverent; accessible, but never mundane. Chef de Cuisine of the Ri Aus'Adelaide Science Exchange and Managing Director of What a Dish Pty Ltd, Cole is among Adelaide's most prominent and inspiring young chefs.

Great cuisine is as much about the presentation, the atmosphere, and the service as the flavour components. CTCS is devoted to the enhancement of the global package of restaurant and hospitality solutions.

The man who turned What a dish! Premium Caterers into Adelaide's most recognised corporate caterer in under four years now shares his talents and knowledge in a number of settings:

• as a chef at corporate, promotional and private engagements
• as a consultant to hospitality business owners
• as a speaker and presenter to groups
• as a culinary journalist and critic
• as a guide and advocate for South Australian produce and suppliers

"Your presentation on empowerment & motivation was an invaluable and precise overview of what it takes for success. It was not only very informative and further assists in positive outcomes for our industry, but it was extremely entertaining. Thank you for your awesome food, generosity, time and information as a mentor and for inspiring the Gen Y."
