that isn’t typically considered ‘cheffy’ that I love, as do many other chefs, is instant ramen. Despite its simplicity and affordability, instant ramen is often my go to comfort food for me, especially after long shifts. The quick preparation and satisfying flavours make it a favourite for me.
What do you like about The Staff Canteen app and website?
What I like most about The Staff Canteen app/website is how it connects different chefs from all backgrounds across the UK. It is so easy to get different ideas and inspiration from local and national chefs. As there are classic pub chefs, Michelin-starred chefs and all in between. It means that there are so many different styles of food available to see.
What I love most is when you get chefs asking one another how they created certain dishes, or asking how they came up with an idea. It’s just chefs learning off each other.
What are your plans for the future?
My long-term plans are to continue cooking great food while embracing sustainable practices. I aim to keep expanding my knowledge and skills, with hope of achieving industry accolades in the future.
I’m also open to the possibility of opening my own restaurant one day, where I can fully express my culinary vision.
What is the most important lesson you’ve learnt as a chef?
An important lesson I’ve learnt as a chef is the value of humility and continuous learning. No matter how skilled or experienced a chef becomes, there is always more to learn, whether it’s a new technique or cultural perspectives on food. The culinary world is ever evolving. As the saying goes, every day is a school day.
