I'm with the chef
What is it like to live with a Michelin-starred chef, often picking up the pieces of a brutal schedule?
If you think you鈥檇 like your other half to be able to cook like a Michelin-starred chef, this episode might make you think again. When a professional cook is at the top of their game, there might just be someone at home, picking up the pieces of a brutal schedule.
Emily Thomas sits down with three people who are in long-term relationships with successful chefs and restaurateurs. They lift the lid on what it鈥檚 really like to live your life alongside someone in a profession notorious for being intensely stressful, competitive and sometimes a little wild.
Can top chefs be bothered to cook when they get home? And how do they respond to criticism in the kitchen?
Behind every head chef there鈥檚 a great woman or man, it seems. And this episode has three of them: PR executive Samantha Wong, partner of Hong Kong chef and restaurateur May Chow; sculptor Beth Cullen-Kerridge, who is married to Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge; and engineer Gundeep Gill who is married to Indian restaurateur Romy Gill MBE.
