With near 25 years in the Food Industry, I had the opportunity to experience everything from rustic to Rosette/Michelin standards, working in Europe and South America, with chefs from all around the world with different backgrounds and styles.Over the years I have learned that simplicity is key, with my knowledge of international cuisine and ingredients, I’m not only able to cook food from different parts of the world authentically but I also have a keen interest for modern techniques, concepts, trends and new combinations of ingredients.This, joined with my constant pursuit for improvement, has helped me to develop my own style of food, always combining local and fresh ingredients to produce healthy, seasonal and authentic dishes.I have created a food programme for Airbnb where we make everything in-house, trained a team of chefs to produce food at high standards and created seasonal menus that reflect the different cultures of the workforce in the office.Now, as a Performance Chef for the IRFU, I am responsible for developing a food programme tailored towards the players, to help maximise their performance, still focusing on making everything in-house, producing food at high standards with zero waste, and creating seasonal menus based in authentic healthy food, sourced from sustainable Irish producers and suppliers. My aim is to keep improving the sustainable and workable template that I have created so, in the future, other businesses can apply to their operations, where healthy food is produced in-house, with as many Irish ingredients as possible, using and supporting local producers to highlight the quality and diverse ingredients from our country.I believe that it’s important to Ireland to develop it’s national food identity, working and supporting the Irish food producers and as a member of the National Chef Advisory Council with Chef Network, I am able to use my experience to develop a strategic vision for Irish chefs.I have high standards, an eye for detail, passion for excellence and I believe in promoting an energetic and fun work environment so that the food produced is creative, vibrant and brings joy to all.
