in a foreign kitchen is always a challenge and it is a competition at the end of the day.so you are nervous and just want to do your best but, what made it so much more enjoyable was the two amazing chefs I got to compete against that made the whole experience for me.
What was the best part about being on Great British Menu 2018?
It was a whole new thing for me, the Great British Menu. I've never done anything quite like it before. Getting to meet all the team of production people and the chefs I was competing against and how we all got on so well and enjoyed each other was the best part for me. Generally, just the taking part.
Were there any negative parts to being on Great British Menu?
Nah not really, it’s hard sometimes during the competition - but nothing negative.
How did you find the criticism and being judged?
It’s all part of the competition. Yes, sometimes it can be hard to take when you've worked hard on the dish and it’s just not to their liking or you know in your heart you could have done so much better.
Were you more nervous about being judged by the veteran chef or the judges?
All of them really, everyone's opinion matters.
Do you have any standout memories during your time on Great British Menu?
It’s too hard to give just one but waiting for the veteran to walk through the door on the first day was something I will never forget.
Would you take part in Great British Menu again?
In a heartbeat. I really love the whole experience and I would be honoured to be asked back to the competition.
Would you encourage your peers, colleagues and chef friends to take part in a competition like Great British Menu?
I would recommend taking part in the Great British Menu to any of my peers and colleagues.
