He recently became head chef at The Suffolk in Aldeburgh and was praised by top food critic Jay Rayner.Writing in The Guardian, Rayner said his dinner was a "sweet celebration, aided by perfect execution"."My mum was a chef and my nana had a little restaurant and a veg shop, so growing up I've always been surrounded by cooking and good food, and I wanted to jump in and engage with it," he said.
"It's only as you grow up that you start to realise that people just don't cook and they don't know how to cook, and it's not a normal thing to have at home."
