About
Sixteen years, no fluff.
I'm a freelance chef based in Leigh, Greater Manchester. I've spent over sixteen years in hospitality, working from Chef de Partie through to Head Chef level.
I trained in Hungary — at TISZK in Commerce, Hospitality and Tourism, and before that at the Kempelen Farkas school of Economics, Hospitality and Tourism — before building my career across hotels, restaurants, events and contract catering in the UK.
What ties it together is the same thing kitchens reward: reliability under pressure, efficiency in a fast service, and a steady focus on food standards. I'm comfortable leading a brigade, and just as comfortable stepping into someone else's.
