Roots to Table: John Ger's Journey with Tamarind Tree Gourmet Sauces

Meet John Ger, the chef behind Tamarind Tree Gourmet Sauces. John's culinary journey began under the tamarind trees of Vasai, India, where he absorbed the flavours and stories of his childhood. Guided by indigenous Warli artisans, John learned the art of tamarind processing from pod to pot, where the fruit's natural complexity matures like fine wine.

After honing his skills worldwide, John settled in Melbourne, where he delights curry enthusiasts with authentic Indian cuisine. Now, he shares his heritage through Tamarind Tree's award-winning sauces, crafted locally in small batches from freshly roasted spices and premium Australian ingredients.

John's mission is to inspire home cooks to explore the rich flavours of India with his vegan, natural, gluten and nut free recipes, steeped in generations of family tradition. Join him on a journey back to the roots of Indian culinary excellence, and savour the essence of Tamarind Tree in your own kitchen.
