Topic: Hello! Pro chef from Leicester currently working in London

[ScottyM]

Hey all!

Came across this site a few days ago and i am enjoying working my way through the forum.

I am a professional chef currently working in London.
I started off in italian and french cuisine and thats the type of restaurant i usually work in.
My girlfriend is BBC (british born chinese) and her parents own a takeaway in leicester. Her uncles and cousins also own restaraunts a takeaways in leicestershire and a few other cities.

Ive been learning recipes from them for the past 2-3 years, both TA and restaurant dishes and I'm currently working on my dim sum with one of her uncles.

never really cooked much indian food until this week when i made a base gravy and range of curries and naans using recipes from here and some indian chef friends of mine.

looking forward to learning and sharing.

Hi Scotty and welcome to the forum.

I too am a chef at the Royal Holloway University, where we cook all kinds of cuisine, but I specialise in Indian. I have taken a lot of recipes from here (some I have created myself) and modified them to cater for 75 plus portions, some of which recipes I have posted on here.

You'll find everything you need on here to create any BIR curry you desire and also go on to creating some of your own dishes too.

We have a Chinese section here in the forum too, so do feel free to post any Chinese recipes you would like to share with us
