Curriculum Vitae
Apprenticeship under the great Master Chef, Frederico De Spagyetti, 1968
I was personally requested by Mr. De Spagyetti for this role. At only 4 years of age I was able to overcome my lack of experience with natural talent, the likes of which he said he had never seen before or since. I learned to read from looking at menus.
​
Le Cordin Blue, Paris 1972
At 8 I became the youngest person to ever study at the school. During my time here I learned fluent French, but I choose not to speak it because it makes me miss France too much. So don't ask me to show you.
The Institute of Cookery Education, New York 1976-1979
New York in the 70s was wild.
​
Cutlery Arts Academy, Switzerland 1981-1982
A wonderful experience learning the ins-and-outs of every aspect of the industry. This was meant to be a six year course but I did it in one.
Apprenticeship under the Master Pastry Chef, Flour Von Rollinpin 1988-1992
I took this role to expand my knowledge of baking but it turned out I knew more than Mr. Von Rollinpin and I actually had to teach him some things. Awkward.
Executive Chef, The Ritzee-Carlo Hotel Company, International 1994-1996
One of the most revered hotel chains in the world, I designed and implemented the menus across all the brand's resorts. A "hot-tub mishap" meant I had to resign but they didn't want me to go because I was the most creatively talented chef they'd ever had, but it was a PR thing.
Head of all Head Chefs Chef, The Shard Restaurants, London 1998
The owner begged me to take the position but I was not warned of the great height of the building so I had to resign promptly. Still, they were so impressed with my trial shift that I continue to win Employee of the Month every month.
Owner, Mr. Marmadukes, London/New York/Singapore/Barnsley, 2000-2010
Catering exclusively to celebrities and has-beens, Mr. Marmadukes was voted 'Best Restaurant Chain Owned by a Male Celebrity Chef Based in the UK Over the Age of 35 in the World' three years in a row. An instant success, the first restaurant propelled me to Celebrity Chef status overnight. A legal misunderstanding forced the chain's closure in 2010.
