What is your favourite dish to cook and why?
Long cooks e.g. lamb shanks, they take too long to do at home
What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever been asked to cook?

A pub in Chester where I started as a Commis Chef from college
What is the best job you have ever had?
The people I worked with in Hertfordshire for seven years were nice, honest people
What is the best thing about being a Chef?
The variety of people and environments, also everyone is a team it’s not just one person. It takes a lot of people for the operation to run smoothly.
