Chef Adam Botos

Private Chef In Worcester

With over 20 years experience in catering industry.

I grew up and was trained as chef in Hungary.

I’m committed, self-motivated and highly adaptable.

I worked in many kitchens including 5 star hotels, fine dining & rosette award restaurants, and high profile private events.

For me, cooking is...

Passion and happiness.

I learned to cook at...

Hungary and England.

A cooking secret...

Cooking is like love, you do it well, or you do not do it at all.
