Hospitality runs deep in Ed's DNA with a family history steeped in the industry.
His brother is involved in crafting hotel and restaurant spaces, while his mother received her training in Switzerland.
Ed has faced and mastered significant challenges in his career.
A standout moment was his time at Michelin-starred Northcote under the tutelage of Lisa Allen.
Following her guidance, he mastered a complex cured salmon dish, a symphony of temperatures and textures.
Ed was able to demonstrate his finesse and precision to execute the challenge flawlessly.
When it comes to favourites, he opts for well-cooked and seasoned dishes.
However, sushi holds a special place in his heart, showcasing his admiration for precision and balance in culinary artistry.
Ed is looking forward to infusing a twist into the classic dishes that have always proved popular at Flat Cap Hotels.
