She credits her trajectory to Galton Blackiston and Greg Anderson, who took a chance and gave her an opportunity when others may not have.
After working at Morston Hall, Kate wanted to work in restaurants with the highest accolades, and landed a job working for Marcus Wareing at his then 2 * restaurant. She then went on to work at several 1 * and 2 * restaurants in London, before moving to Copenhagen to work at AOC (2*), where she became the youngest female head chef. After leaving AOC she went on to work as Sous chef at Frantzén, Stockholm, currently holding 3 Michelin stars and ranked No. 6 in the world - and all before Kate turned 30.
Kate worked in Gordon Ramsay’s development team and is now a private chef in London. She loves being experimental in the kitchen and her precision, dedication and attention to detail in everything she does in paramount in the dishes she creates.
Her menu celebrates gold medal Olympians.
