I served my time in Dublin’s Grey Door Restaurant - adventerous cusine and a unique atmosphere. In London I cooked my way around the world’s cuisine; Irish in Minogues; Garbos cooking Swedish food; Bistingo, serving Provencal and fine Italian food in Orsinos. For a while, in Maxwell’s in Covent Garden, I ran a big kitchen – organising crews. While travelling in Asia I was invigorated to find what people did with local ingredients on the streets of exotic cities, and that experience returned me to the purity of cooking. On returning to Dublin I fell into the film business almost by accident with a job in Malta – on the Count of Monte Christo. After that came King Arthur, The Tudors, Breakfast on Pluto and many others. I was hooked.
