Trained Chef, with fine dinng restaurant and hotel experience teaching you how to cook - not just how to follow recipes
Methodology
I believe in focusing on fundamentals, but beyond that I'm pretty flexible. If you have specific dishes you want to learn, we can go from there. In a typical class, we'd go through a recipe or two (depending on how much time we have). I'll explain why the recipe works, and we'll make it together - with a focus on proper knife skills and technique.
Background
I'm currently the Group Executive Chef for a group of boutique hotels in Sri Lanka.
I've have done a couple of internships at fine dining restaurants in Singapore (including a Michelin-starred restaurant), and one in Ottawa. I've also had a recipe of mine, and my story, featured in Singapore's local newspaper, as well as helmed a cafe kitchen for a weekend. I also hold a Diploma in Professional Cooking from Canada.

Cooking to him is art. He decorates his plates in the most beautiful of ways and never fails to surprise me with his dishes.
