Chef and co-founder at Two Michelin-starred Ikoyi in St James’ Market, London.
Jeremy was born in the northwest of England but spent his childhood travelling throughout Europe, the United States and Hong Kong. As a teenager, he taught himself to speak six languages fluently.
He studied philosophy and theory of languages at Princeton University, where he added Farsi to his collection of languages. He then started a graduate job at a renewable energy investment company, but in 2011, he decided against pursuing a career in finance in favour of professional cookery.
“When I’m interested in something, I want to know everything about it,’ he explained, “I was interested in languages in my teenage years, but that flipped onto cooking later on.”
Eventually, he was able to make his start as a chef with a stage at Hibiscus. Having no professional kitchen experience whatsoever, he learnt a lot during his time at Claude Bosi’s former two-Michelin starred restaurant. Jeremy then worked at some smaller restaurants and brasseries in London, before going to work at Noma for three months. On his return to London, Jeremy worked at Dinner by Heston, before leaving to open his own restaurant.
