cooking, which is a really nice thing to have behind me on a daily basis.”
Food Passions
“I love all parts of cooking. I’m really interested in using intricate techniques that take a lot of practice to master and I love barbecuing meat and fish. My real passion is about showcasing what cuisines are available in Birmingham with a love for Asian flavours and produce. One of my favourite past times is visiting a giant Chinese supermarket just outside of Birmingham.”
On MasterChef: The Professionals
“I'm a person who sometimes lacks self-belief and I don’t like to push myself into the limelight. That's why I chose to enter the competition; to show my little boy that if you want something, you have to face your fears and go and get it.
“The most challenging part of the competition for me was the Skills Test in my Heat. I just stopped thinking like a chef. My mind shut off and I just made a few silly mistakes.
“Getting to the final is not something I ever believed I could do. It was just an amazing feeling to keep passing each round and beating my own expectations.”
Cooking ambitions
“My plans for the future are still under wraps, but I will be undertaking a project in Birmingham – watch this space!”
