Being a head chef massively limits the hours in which I can find any hobbies or recreational things to do but I go to the gym practically everyday and I enjoy spending as much time with my one year old daughter as I can.

I enjoy cooking outside of work, whilst many chefs don't like to cook even more when they get home, I like to take the opportunity to try different ideas and recipes when I do find the time. In a nutshell, I just love food... eating, cooking, creating and experiencing food.
