Where do you currently work?
“The Sir Charles Napier, a triple AA rosette restaurant.”
Who or what inspired you to become a chef?
“My dad was a chef when I was growing up so he was my biggest inspiration. My gran was also a massive inspiration to me. I stayed at her house every weekend when I was younger baking, cooking, and decorating cakes under her watchful eye.”
How would you describe your cooking style?
“My style of cooking is mostly seasonal as well as classically French and British. When I was younger, Italian cooking was important too, as my dad worked in an Italian Restaurant.”
What are three ingredients you couldn’t live without?
“Butter, salt, flour.”
Why did you take part in the show?
“I wanted to take part in MasterChef: The Professionals this year to show what I can do in the biggest and most acclaimed cooking competition in the world. For me, you don’t truly know what you are capable of until put under pressure.”
The new series of MasterChef: The Professionals is ongoing on BBC One and iPlayer.
