3 generations experience with family run restaurants and clubs running to a total of 100 plus years.

I have a hunger to learn more, which made me go in for a much more professional expertise. I earned my degree in hotel & catering management wherein I specialised in Italian cuisine. To get first-hand experience I went on to work in many places around the world.  Allowing me to pick up a lot on my travels to far east, middle east, Europe, the Caribbean and the USA . I have also had the opportunity to work with Michael Roux recipes while working for celebrity cruise lines, also was fortunate enough to work with Disney in Orlando, Florida which helped me to venture more into the cuisines of the world especially working with multi-national colleagues. I then moved onto the UK and gained more insight with regards to British food.
