What was the first dish you ever learned to cook? The first proper dish was the Sunday roast, from start to finish. My mother was very good at showing all of us how to cook What are your most vivid food memories from childhood? Growing up in Dublin, we always had really weird food that I thought was normal but also felt may be that it wasn’t. Tinned octopus, exotic olives, different cheeses, weird vinegar. One of my favourite sandwiches was jarred mussels in Marie-Rose sauce. Not exactly wild now, but also not average sambo for a kid! Who has been the biggest influence on the way that you cook? Shane Osborn made a very strong impact on me around the tasting of food, the double-checking. Phil Howard did too, with his approach to flavour combinations and the weird and wonderful logic of flavour. How long were you dreaming of opening your own restaurant? Since I started cooking. I wasn’t sure it would ever happen. To be a restaurateur is completely different to being a head chef. There’s a calmness and pressure that is very satisfying to me.
