Being a chef isn’t about the glory.
It’s not the pretty plates, the followers, or the fame.

It’s about the hours no one sees.
The burns. The pressure. The noise in your head.
The obsession that keeps you chasing better.

It’s about bleeding for something you love.
Finding pride in the scars.
And showing up even when you’ve got nothing left.

That’s why I wrote this book
to remind chefs why we do it.
To inspire the next generation,
and to honour everyone who’s ever lived it.

BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS

The final shot — Japanese kingfish, pickled apple, lemongrass emulsion, tapioca crackle, sea grapes.
A dish built to blend in and still stand out. 🐚✨

If you haven’t watched the reel yet, why the f*ck not?
Go see how this one came together — and watch the coral come to life.

The final shot - Duck Tea.
Built slow, layered deep, and finished clean.

And if you still haven’t watched the reel to see the trick for skimming the fat - why the f*ck not? 🦆❄️
Go watch it. Learn something new. Then come back and tell me you’ll never make stock the same way again.

The final shot - Champagne sorbet, crème fraîche, and black caviar. Luxe, sharp, and straight to the point.

And if you still haven’t watched the reel of this one coming together… why the f*ck not? 🥂✨
Get over there, see the process, and give it some love.

Because the pretty photo is just the finish - the real magic is in the making.

The final shot — Crayfish Claw Tart.

And if you still haven’t watched the reel of this dish coming together… why the f*ck not?
Get over there, see the work, and give it some love.

Because sketches and words mean nothing until you see it plated.
