Chef Profile – Thomas Ryll
Head chef Thomas: bringing a world of flavours to the Murray
Our German-born head chef, Thomas Ryll, is a perfect fit for our club – he is completely at home in the country, around rivers, waterways, scenic delights and tourists who love good food, good wine and good times.
Thomas was raised in Friedrichshafen, near Lake Constance, which shares its beautiful shoreline with Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It’s highly popular with visitors.
Thomas trained at a restaurant complex on an island in the lake, cutting his teeth with lunches for 2000. He worked at fine restaurants at top hotels, a ski resort and a casino in Switzerland and Germany. Later he lectured on kitchen equipment and design and banquet and restaurant operations at a Swiss-run hotel management school in Spain.
Multiple skills
Arriving in Australia in 1999, Thomas became sous chef at the Sofitel Melbourne, moved to Warrenmang winery in the Pyrenees, owned by renowned restauranteur and vigneron, Luigi Bassani, and back to Melbourne to a head chef position.
He later honed his skills working on major sporting events, catering for up to 30,000 customers at a time.
Now in charge of up to 13 chefs at the club, Thomas may be supervising catering in up to five areas simultaneously.
Taste, freshness, variety
Thomas has introduced a new emphasis on fresh produce sourced as locally as possible.
“We’re using organic lamb, beef, and pork because its flavour and texture is so superior,” he says. “We want our food to be international, honest and healthy."
“We always keep the traditional favourites that members love. But I grew up with Thai, Turkish and Italian neighbours and you can see a whole range of influences in our menus – European, Asian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern."
“We chefs are definitely seeing a greater willingness by club members to try a new offering – moving from roasts, say, to risottos or smoked salmon. Dining is always evolving."
What else is great about Echuca-Moama? “I’m a country boy, and I love the peace and quiet and sunny weather,” says Thomas.
Everyone loves Echuca-Moama, home of Moama Bowling Club!
