Lauren Murdoch started her working life training to be a nurse, before deciding her calling was in a different nurturing profession: cooking.
She began training at Atlas Bistro in Riley Street and moved to Rockpool for a year’s pastry experience before working at the Concourse Restaurant at the Sydney Opera House where she met Janni Kyritsis who took Lauren with him as sous-chef when he opened MG Garage in 1997.
In 2005 Lauren accepted the offer to run the kitchen at the Hemmes family’s Lotus Bistro in Potts Point and in 2008 she moved across to head Ash St Cellar in the new Ivy complex.

Saw your master chef programme and loved it. Would love your receipe book if you have one.
hey Lauren I like those garlic prawns that you made were very nice
Just saw Lauren on Masterchef and realised I went to school with her in Coffs Harbour. Amazing!
We first met Lauren in 2005 when she first started at Lotus which use to be our local restaurant, while at Lotus she grow and the food she produced continued to surpass that of any restaurant of Lotus standards, the next 3 years would see Lauren continue to wow myself and any guest we would take to Lotus. Over the 3 years Lauren would grow to new heights but her down to earth characteristics and that bright smile which light the dimly lite lotus never changed. Sadly in 2008 Lauren left to pursue new ventures over at Ash street. due to Lauren's high standards of service and quality we naturally followed. I would recommend you pop into Ash St or anywhere else you might get a chance to sample some of her magic because it's definitely worth it.
