Chef John Mccormick
Private Chef In TurriffI have been a chef for 30 years and work in some very high quality establishments. I am also a very competent baker. I have worked in high end Chalets in France and Italy. I am very good and recognizing what clients desire and strive for kitchen excellence. I learn a lot of modern techniques and apply them often in my kitchen.

A cooking secret...
