in the best restaurants in Britain. He directed me in my younger years to make the right career moves. He gave me sound and correct advice when I had issues and kept me on the straight path to what will hopefully be a successful chef career.
When did you decide that you wanted to follow in his footsteps?
When I was 16, I decided to follow in his footsteps after many years of going to his workplace. I helped out with little jobs, be it peeling onions, making sandwiches or sauce prep. Sometimes this would be if I was a little misbehaved at school! During the half term, I would get to work in my dad’s kitchen for the week. Secretly, I would love the experience. Cheers Dad!
Does your dad still cook, professionally or at home?
Yes, he works for Bishopswood Golf Club as the executive head chef, providing restaurant food, bar snacks and private dinners on a large scale.
Is there a particular dish he taught you to cook?
He taught me how to make a good sauce. I believe this is a vital skill for a chef. Also, how to cook fish perfectly!
Is there a message you’d like to say to him for Father’s Day?
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Thank you for all your hard work, inspiration and time you have provided me with in your career, and I hope to make you proud of mine!
