SHANE DELIA
“As long as I have good food, and family and friends to share it with, my life is complete.”
Shane Delia is one of Melbourne’s most innovative chefs. Opening his much awarded restaurant Maha in 2008, Shane has excited diners with his Mediterranean approach to Middle Eastern cuisine.
Shane prides himself on his original culinary style that stems from the eclectic influences that have surrounded him both personally and professionally.
Undertaking his apprenticeship at le Restaurant at the Hotel Sofitel, Shane excelled within the traditional kitchen structure. At the age of 21 Shane was appointed sous chef of Eleonore’s at Chateau Yering in the Yarra Valley. In 2003 Shane was promoted to Executive Chef and Eleonore’s was recognised as one of country Victoria’s finest Hotels and a member of the prestigious Relais Chateaux chain.
Shane’s rise in the culinary world continues with the opening of his second restaurant, St Katherine’s with Made Establishment, and George Calombaris.
As well as making his mark in the restaurant industry, Shane appears frequently on Network 10’s Ready Steady Cook and The Circle.
Shane's first cook book, aptly named 'Maha, Middle Eastern Home Cooking' was released in October 2011.

Carmelo ‘Nenu’ Delia
Born: 27/01/1929
Deceased: 21/08/2004
My nannu Nenu is the beating drum in my heart that inspires me to be the chef, father and leader I need to be to inspire and lead my family both at home and at Maha and St Katherine's.
His love and passion for life, family and the church is the cornerstone of the real Delia family strength and no matter what may arise or who may confront us his passion unites us and keeps my true family close to my heart.
His lessons and teachings throughout my life grounded and focused me on what life is truly about, and I feel it is my duty to share these ideologies with the rest of the world.
Just as my father has now taken up the role as the head of the Delia family and starts his page in our family tree. I too will have to when it is my time. I hope I have been a good student as I have had two inspirational role models.
Food is the quintessential common ground for people of all of denominations and I want to use this medium to share Nenu’s dream.
