Career History
I’ve been a chef for 16 years now, graduating from Beverley College in Yorkshire, before going on to work in several of the very best hotels in York and learn my trade. I then went on to travel around Europe enjoying cooking my way around the continent learning all the way. The bright lights of the big city were tempting for a while, but having furthered my training on the London restaurant scene, I decided that I’d like to get back to my roots to work on a passion of mine; baking. I worked in a local bakery near York for several years, refining my skills and learning how to make great bread and work with pastry. My next move was into corporate cooking for an international bank, where my remit included cooking for their private functions, training other chefs and creating food offerings in all sorts of places. Finally, having spent more time in a business suit than in my chef’s whites, I decided to go it alone; a life changing decision and the beginning of Good Taste!
