Seven years ago I dropped out of my computing degree at the
University of Manchester and was both a meat-eater, as well as working
in a takeaway. At this time of my life, I had a very negative outlook on
my future, but then I came across a book called MEAT by Hugh
Fearnely-Wittingsall and was the catalyst for my passion for food and
the inspiration for my catering career.
After finishing the book it all made sense as to why my mother had
decided to bring us up on a vegetarian diet and so I decided to explore
vegetarianism further, and where better than the best vegetarian
restaurant in the world – Café Paradiso in Cork.
My goal when moving back to Wales from the adventure was to open a
vegetarian restaurant, but living in the small town of Carmarthen, the
idea just humoured my friends and worried my family, so I moved to
Cardiff and EthicalChef was born.
