My Approach
I am a well-rounded global citizen who received my foundational Michelin Starred training from Chef Raymond Blanc, one of United Kingdom’s celebrated top chefs, in Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. With a strong foundation, I travelled to Australia, working at notable restaurants Mr. Wong, Vue De Monde, Lee Ho Fook and it was in Australia I discovered my love for modern asian cuisine. I further pursued this calling to Hong Kong to work for the award winning Black Sheep Hospitality Group. I am currently based in Dubai, with 2 successful pre openings here and another in the works. I am specializing in restaurant pre-openings and asian cuisine.
I believe my creativity, positivity, adaptability, financial analysis, teamwork management, culinary foresight on latest trends, high standards and diligent work ethic towards new challenges is a welcome addition to any establishment.
