Executive Chef UK Visa Sponsorship Ready

" With over 25 years in professional kitchens, I’ve built a career defined by craftsmanship, consistency, and creativity. My culinary style blends classical European technique with modern American innovation, rooted in a respect for ingredients and an understanding that food should tell a story. As an ACF Certified Executive Chef, I’ve led award-winning restaurants, directed large-scale culinary operations, and developed training programmes that elevate teams and redefine kitchen culture.

My passion lies in bridging tradition with progress—merging the discipline of French cookery with the boldness of contemporary flavour. I believe every dish should be purposeful, every detail intentional, and every plate a reflection of both skill and soul. Through leadership, mentorship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence, I aim to create food that doesn’t just nourish, but connects—food that lingers in memory long after the meal is done. "
