Luke starred in series 13 of MasterChef the Professionals and made the semi finals. Luke has always looked up to both Monica Galetti and Marcus Wareing, he has their cookbooks and has always admired their dedication to the hospitality industry. To have the opportunity to cook for them was a dream come true for Luke and he will never forget that experience. He received amazing comments on his work.

Luke is classically trained and enjoys Fine Dining. Luke says “being from Yorkshire, hearty food has been drilled into me from a young age so I like to balance both hearty and fine dining in my cooking” – we feel he does this perfectly! Luke enjoys both cooking and eating lots of different cuisines but his favourite cuisine is American BBQ. In his early career he studied for his diploma while working at a 1 Michelin starred restaurant. He can include a 2 hat, steak restaurant in Australia in his experience among other noted restaurants in the UK, many of these with a meat heavy menu which has suited Luke very well.

He feels the best thing about being a chef is after putting in hours developing a dish, it finally making it onto the menu, customers ordering it and enjoying something you have put so much hard work into. It gives a sense of fulfilment.
