Joel Gueller had his first taste of Michelin-quality food at The Box Tree in Ilkely aged 12 which he credits with whetting his appetite for a career in the industry.
"It blew me away and I knew straight away that I wanted to be a part of it and was hooked," he says.
The chef has worked at Belmond Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons for three years, where he has covered the canapés, appetisers, cold starters, hot starters, breakfast, garnish and fish section. He was promoted to chef de partie earlier this year after entering and winning his first competition The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Annual Awards of Excellence.
"At Le Manoir, I have really developed as a chef. It’s where I have expanded my knowledge, from awareness of ingredients to how to develop inexperienced colleagues to become good cooks," he says.
