New contender in celeb chef stakes
Posted by Alan | Under Celebrity Chefs Saturday Jan 2, 2010
Although Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsey may be known for mastering the noughties, a new chef from Marlow may be the next dominate ruler of the restaurant world in the coming decade.
Adam Simmonds, the current Oak Room at Danesfield House hotel head chef has been picked as one of the top ten contenders to challenge the current order of top chefs.
Simmonds, age 38, stated that the selection was a complete surprise that he found out about when the BBC called his home to set up an interview. He continued to say that to be placed up against some of the top chefs in the UK is an honour.
The new contender trained under numerous chefs including Raymond Blanc and has cooked at the Oak Room for the last three years. Previously he worked for a restaurant close to Aberystwyth that was given a Michelin star.
Simmonds may not swear half as much as Gordon Ramsay, but the cook stated that he is not always the nicest person, and that at times he can lose his rag because you need to crack down on people and that his staff is aware of the fact.
Apparently the Oak Room has already realized the talent it houses, as next month the name will be changed to ‘Adam Simmonds at Danesfield House.’
The cook stated that he is pleased with the name change and that in the future he would like to do some cooking on television due to the exposure it would give the restaurant and himself.
