I decided to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time - go get a chef and a nutritionist - and I brought them on board.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You don't have to stick with these recipes. They're guides. As I say, they're a way in. Have fun with them. It's an easier way to cook in a busy life, once you get the hang of it.
I really feel I have found myself as a chef. It's very clear to me what I want to do - and how it should taste.
The better the ingredients, the more farmers I can buy from, the closer I feel to the food I want to make that represents what I care about as a chef.
Don't put too many chefs to work. Sometimes they get too involved in the ingredients and are of no help.
I wanted to write a food book, but I'm not a chef or an expert on culinary matters, to put it mildly.
I have a chef who makes sure that I'm getting the right amounts of carbs, proteins and fats throughout the day to keep me at my max performance level.
I'm a professional food eater.
I just want to serve food that people want to eat, and show a way forward for the restaurant industry, for all industries. One day, everything I've done will be worthwhile.
I'm not a trained chef, so I end up making stuff up. It either turns out brilliant or an absolute disaster. I just go for it.
I had turned down other head chef jobs. I didn't want to take over someone else's cuisine. I wanted to start from scratch.
