A superb 2 seasons working with @Chef_Mikebache I’m gutted to see him leave 🐻, however I’m very excited to see him smash his next role in football We took the “performance nutrition” game to the next level Enjoy mate 🙏🏻

COFFEE LOVERS ☕️ The evolution of coffee @BristolBears 🐻 When I started at 🐻 we had a bean2cup which wasn't the most hygienic or best quality coffee Through the help of players & the club, a superb relationship has continued to be built with the team at Clifton Coffee

Best of British produce @BristolBears 🐻 Here is a 📸 of the food from pre-season thus far. We pride ourselves on controlling at wholesale source Where possible, @Chef_Mikebache and I focus on using ingredients and items that are as local as possible in Great Britain 🇬🇧.

If vou are a performance chef or nutritionist who wants to discuss how I can support you, your Kitchen team or your business further, please feel free to DM me.

Since running my mentorship programme, I have gathered feedback and I've concluded I'm able to support individual development. I do this through my own experiences, network, qualifications, innovation and management style using a fresh food first approach.

A nutritionist is often held accountable for what a kitchen provides, however, they don't know how to get what they require from a commercial kitchen - l've seen this personally and many nutritionists have told me they have this issue.

Of course, there is overlap, however, there's a huge difference in knowledge and skills between the two stakeholders.

To create a complete performance catering provision you need the skill sets of both a Performance Chef and a Performance Nutritionist working together with the same vision and goals.

This has resulted in a huge variance in the skill set and ability of chefs in sport, which directly impacts food quality and control and therefore the nutrition that athletes consume.

A performance chef is the only stakeholder of a sports performance department which doesn't have any accreditation, specific qualifications or a governing body (for example, nutritionists have SENr, we have nothing).

"A performance chef has an opportunity at every meal to influence performance and recovery." Last year, I started a performance chef mentorship program. Why?
