Chef Richard Fox
Private Chef In KendalGet to know me better
Passionate and dedicated top level vegan chef, dedicated to creating exceptional plant-based dishes from whole food to alchemic analogue meats.
I am a classically trained chef and worked for many years cooking privately for celebrity and business clients in London. I am also an award-winning writer, cookbook author and chef presenter, having won a prestigious British Guild Award for Food & Beer Writing. I was resident chef presenter on BBC1 Regional Look North. I was a regular chef on BBC 2′s Food Poker and has appeared on UKTV Food, Saturday Cooks on ITV, The Good Food Show on BBC Radio 4 - to name but a few.
My expertise in the world of food and drink, as well as my talents as an exuberant and entertaining demonstration chef and public speaker has made me a favourite personality for hosting and demonstrating at gourmet events around the world. My live interview credits include Jamie Oliver, Heston Blumenthal, Michelle Roux Jr and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, to name but a few.
I have toured the UK extensively performing cookery demonstrations as an Ambassador for the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. I have also worked in Australia as an Ambassador for OzHarvest, promoting their cause in redistribution of potential waste food to charitable organisations. My cook book on the subject, entitled 'How to be an Everyday Kitchen Magician' was published by Green Books in 2012.
In August 2018 I switched to an exclusively plant-based diet which has had the most profound impact on his career to date. Having channelled my decades of experience into exclusively plant-based cooking, I am currently working on a brand-new food product as start-up Co-Founder, as well as continuing his work in partnership with veteran daytime TV lifestyle content producer, Mark Hampshire, making prime-time TV quality, online content for plant-based brands.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
My passion and my life. Transitioning from an old school carnivore to 100% vegan has been the most momentous and rewarding experience of my life.
I learned to cook at...
college before working for and with a host of Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay-trained chefs in my private/corporate dining business.
A cooking secret...
'Cook like an eater'!
