His career has spanned 30 years, including being named chef of the year twice, owning restaurants and running his own cooking school in Wahroonga, Sydney, called Take 2 Eggs.

His culinary prowess is no surprise, given it’s in his genes – his mum Gretta Anna Teplitzky was a well-known chef in the ’60s and ’70s.

Joining forces with her, Martin recently launched a book called The Best of Gretta Anna with Martin Teplitzky.
