🌶️ What is your favourite food to cook and why?
It is really hard to name my favourite food to cook because there are many meals that I enjoy cooking. If I had to choose, I would say I love to build flavours so braises and sauces.
🐄 You can only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what is it?
Beef stroganoff, going back to my childhood!
🌿 What is your best cooking tip for our members?
My tip is to keep it simple. Use good quality ingredients to make the dish buzz.
🦞 What is your signature dish?
It is hard to name my signature dish because there are so many I enjoy to cook but a dish I created for a degustation at Cocoas was always a favourite – eye fillet steak with lobster ravioli in a lobster bisque.
✔️ What is the best piece of advice you have learnt from your mentors?
The best piece of advice I’ve been given by my mentors is “keep it simple stupid” and “fat is for flavour”
🥩 You only have 3 ingredients that you can cook with for the rest of your life, what are they?
There are so many great ingredients, so it’s hard to pick just one! If I have to choose, it’s amazing what you can do with cheaper cuts of meat, herbs and stock.
👰 What is your favourite special occasion to cook for?
My favourite occasion to cook for would have to be weddings because I love seeing people happy with my food on their special day.
