Brendan was unique among the celebrity Head Chefs in The Restaurant as he trained as a cordon bleu chef in Switzerland. But it had been fifteen years since he last set foot in a professional kitchen.

Brendan loves to cook at home and thinks nothing of whipping up a pasta and peanut butter dish for his kids or a full meal for 120 of his closest friends.

Brendan reckons that cooking is very like performing on stage. The audience, or diners, expect to be well entertained and if they don't like what you're doing they'll let you know their feelings in no uncertain terms!

As a chef Brendan's motto is "The customer may not always be right, but the customer is always the customer".
