Adrian told Sarina how he has always had a passion for food, so much so that the thought of food keeps him up at night. However he hasn’t always shared his love of food for the fear of being bullied by other lads in school. He even kept it a secret that, at 14, he was working at Neven Maguire’s Macnean House.
Working in the kitchen
Working in a kitchen is hard work. There were days where Adrian worked from 10am – 1am the next day. The pure love of food kept him going. When the kitchen would close, Adrian and the other chefs would get together and watch cooking shows!
Adrian’s favourite chef is Gordon Ramsay and the day Gordon followed him on Instagram, was a career highlight. But Gordon didn’t just follow him, he even watches his stories!
With his new cook book out, work opportunities are coming up on the UK, he hopes that one of them will be to cook with Gordon Ramsay.
Adrian’s top tip for getting over your fear of cooking, prep and practice. Keep doing it until it works!
