There’s nothing I enjoy more than entertaining friends – sharing great food and good wine together makes me happy.”

Trevor started cooking when he was a child. Speaking about his earliest cooking memory and how he got into cooking, Trevor said: “My dad enjoyed entertaining and had a real interest in travel, so we were fortunate to visit some amazing destinations growing up. I remember going shopping with him on Saturday mornings when I was about nine or ten – picking up things like balsamic vinegar and saffron, which weren’t everyday ingredients in our house in the early 1980s.

“We would come home, and I would loiter in the kitchen doorway, watching him cook dishes that were quite different from the usual meals we had during the week. Looking back, those moments sparked my curiosity about food and where ingredients came from.”
