How did it feel to get through to the final?
A huge relief as my name was one of the last to get called out!
It means so much to every person in the competition,making it through to the final is a fantastic achievement. Now I have my fingers crossed for the final!
Why did you enter national chef of the year?
I love a challenge. Putting yourself out of your comfort zone really helps you to grow and develop as a chef.
I currently work in the contract catering sector so it's always great to spend time with, and pitch myself, against the restaurant boys.
On Tuesday, October 3 a new National Chef of the Year will be crowned. We take a closer look at this year's finalists hoping to produce winning dishes at the final at The Restaurant Show, which will impress the judging panel.
