About Us - My Journey to become a Michelin train chef
I have always tried to expand my horizons in creating new dishes and exciting the taste buds of my diners. This year I have embarked on a journey to become a Michelin Chef, training with some of the world’s best known chefs. My journey so far.
Autumn 2023. Training alongside Clare Smyth of Core restaurant in London – the UK’s only female to have achieved 3 Michelin Stars.
February 2024. Training with Claude Bosi, owner of Bibendum restaurant in London – Claude Bosi is the only chef in history to have Michelin stars awarded to the restaurant in the original UK Michelin HQ.
I trained as a chef in Monteflavio, with my Uncle Ghods in one Italy’s five-star hotels and have always taken every opportunity to learn from the very best.
Having completed my training with Clare Smyth at Core restaurant in London, it was one of the proudest moments in my life to receive my Chef Academy Diploma for the Michelin Star Chef Course in front of the famous Michelin window“. Babak
