Steven added another string to his bow winning the BBC’s Masterchef in 2007. This led to him working as a chef with the three Michelen starred restaurant Pierre Gagnaire in Paris, whilst also having cooked for HRH Prince Charles, the Prime Minister and his exclusive list of celebrity clients in the UK. Steven’s fusion of gastronomic and brand talent has opened opportunities to work as a Brand Ambassador for Rachel’s Organic and The Co-operative Group, and Consultant Chef for Sainsbury’s, Slow Food Movement UK and Jumeirah Hotels London.
