Head chef, Black Barn bistro, Hawke's Bay.
The one ingredient I can't live without is ... olive oil.
I have $20 and four people to feed. I'm making ... paella.
I'm tired and hungry so I am ordering takeaways from ... Thai Silk in Hastings
The person I'd most like to cook for is ... Richard Branson, he is such an extraordinary person in what he has achieved.
The best meal I have ever eaten was ... Vinnies six years ago - lightly battered softshell crab, avocado and pepper tian with coriander and chilli sorbet. Then braised ox cheek wrapped in prosciutto with cepe mushrooms, broad beans and potato gnocchi followed by liquorice brulee with poached fig and fig sorbet.
Oh dear, it's my last meal, I'm eating ... roast chicken and all the trimmings with my wife, Ali and children.
