On The Shoulders of Giants with Chef Gresham and Chef Manoj at The Conservatory

Chef Gresham and Chef Manoj bring ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ to The Conservatory, an intimate tasting menu that explores the people, places, and ideas that have shaped his journey as a cook. Inspired by the belief that creativity is built upon the work of those who came before us, the experience pays ode to the chefs, mentors, restaurants, books, music, and moments that have left a lasting imprint on his approach to food.Across eight to ten thoughtfully composed courses, each dish traces a thread of influence, whether through a recipe generously shared by a fellow chef, a technique learned in a professional kitchen, a memorable meal in a distant city, or a flavour combination that lingered long after the plate was cleared. Rather than recreations, these dishes are personal interpretations that acknowledge their origins while evolving into something distinctly their own.Blending storytelling, memory, and craftsmanship, On the Shoulders of Giants celebrates the collaborative nature of cooking and the generations of knowledge that continue to shape it.
