Chef Bobby About Me
I’m Chef Bobby, and I’m here to show you that amazing, tasty food doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. My love affair with cooking started when I was just a kid, marvelling at how simple ingredients could transform into something truly delicious. That’s my “aha!” moment – realising the magic in making great food accessible to everyone.
I’m all about healthy and budget-friendly meals, proving that eating well doesn’t have to break the bank. You might also find me dabbling in the delicious world of USA-style barbecue and smoking – there’s nothing quite like the flavour of slow-cooked perfection! While I hold formal NVQ 1, 2, and 3 certifications in Catering and Hospitality, my real joy comes from constantly learning new skills and trying out fresh techniques and ingredients.
My teaching philosophy is simple: “Keep It Simple (Stupid)” – a playful reminder that cooking should be fun, not intimidating! I want you to gain my passion for cooking and discover just how much easier it is than you think. My biggest piece of advice for any new cook? Don’t be scared of the recipe; it’s only food! It’s okay to make mistakes; that’s how we learn and grow in the kitchen.
Beyond the stovetop, I’m an avid gamer and love streaming with my community. When I’m not on the mend from a knee injury (ACL recovery is no joke!), you’ll find me focusing on fitness, drawing on five years of mixed martial arts training. And while I live in Wolverhampton, I’m a proud North Walian, even with my very English accent! You might expect chefs to be shouty, but I believe in kindness – you get more flies with honey than with vinegar, and a positive vibe in the kitchen goes a long way.
I’m a self-proclaimed food nerd, always excited to learn about different culinary traditions across the UK and new dishes from around the world. Seriously, tell me about your local favourites – I get genuinely thrilled hearing about dishes I’ve never encountered!
