More about me

For me, cooking is...

My passion and my life. I have been cooking for 30 years and can never imagine myself doing anything else.

I learned to cook at...

The Grand Hotel, Brighton & then Turner's of Walton Street under the tutorage of Brian Turner. The biggest learning curve was The Roux Scholarship

A cooking secret...

Cooking with passion and using seasonal produce. I love experimenting with flavours in my own time so I can create exceptional dishes for my clients.
