ABOUT ME

I was originally born in Le Mans, France, but emigrated to Melbourne Australia when I was 25. Since then, I moved up north to the Gold Coast, in Queensland. Sitting with my friends as write this profile now, they are describing me as 'gastronome extraordinaire', generous, fun-loving, active and very social. I am retired now, but worked as chef in several French restaurants throughout Australia, many of which I came to own. I still like to cook in restaurants my friends own from time to time to keep my hand in the game. In addition to my professional and social attributes, I have been married for 32 years and have two wonderful children in their 20s, who have followed in my footsteps and both work in the hospitality industry.

Interesses

Food. Food. Food. And butter. In addition, great wine, travel, both overseas and nationally on my motorbike...What else? Ahh, I love cycling and find that since retiring, keeping up a regular exercise regime is fantastic for the body and mind. I also enjoy gardening, because I love fresh produce to cook with. I do enjoy Europe because I like the culture, and of course it is where I was originally from.
