 A
determined Yorkshire lad, John Benson-Smith has come
along way over the last few years.
After
training in France with the famous Louis Outhier John
drew inspiration from working with other well-known
chefs including Michael Quin, Peter Chandler and Nico
Ladenis.
Known
as Super Chef at Manchester's celebrity filled
Victoria & Albert Hotel, where he spent five years,
John produced food in his signature style of imagination,
flair and infamous food descriptions. His efforts were
recognised - he was instrumental in putting Manchester
on the important food map and achieved high accolades.
In
January 1997 John moved back to his native Yorkshire
as Chef / Director of a new project - Hazlewood Castle.
Nine months later the Castle opened its doors, having
been totally transformed and restored to its former
glory. Guests at Hazlewood include many famous faces,
including royalty. Today Hazlewood Castle is one of
the finest hotels / business destinations in the country.
John
is currently working with Loyd Grossman (commissioned
by the Government) to advise the National Health Service
on the Better Hospital Food Initiative and he
is passionate about implementing change to improve hospital
food.
Former
BBC Masterchef Judge and Northern Chef of the Year,
John also acts as a chef consultant to major food manufacturers
and producers. He successfully endorses and promotes
a range of products that are appropriate to his lifestyle
and his expertise. His inexhaustible energy and genuine
love of the hospitality industry make him a valuable
agent to many companies. John assists contract caterers
and has carried out work with retail bakeries.
Manchester
City Football Club have appointed him as Consultant
for their magnificent new stadium (the Commonwealth
Games Stadium) and John enjoys writing for various newspapers
and magazines. John is a much sought after cookery demonstrator
