BIO
Nearly 20 years ago I went for my first job interview as a chef. I was asked why I wanted the job. My reply was that I did not see this as a job, but as a career!!! It was in my blood. My mother is an incredible cook and mentor who inspired me to follow this passion. Growing up in a single parent family with two brothers my mother tried to instill love, commitment and discipline into our lives. It was those skills that I have found invaluable in my career. My love for good food and wine has lead to extensive travel worldwide and many memorable moments, but most importantly it has built character that I incorporate into my food! Cooking for me is the essence of family and friends sharing in these moments and creating life long memories!
BACKGROUND
I was born in New Zealand, my mother is of Scottish and English descent, and my father is of Samoan and French Polynesian descent.
INSPIRATION
Me mum (not a spelling mistake, that's how we spell it!)
