Jonathan did his training at the Charing Cross Hotel in The Strand and Westminster College.
He then acquired the travel bug & thirst for new cultures & cuisines.
After a year in Libya he returned to London’s Barbican centre for two years and then spent 3 years in Amman, Jordan.
His first Executive chef position came at the age of 30, in then, a leading hotel of the Gambia.
After 3 years his hunger for more knowledge led him to Paris where he spent one year before returning to London again, at a casino in Knightsbridge where he stayed for 6 years, followed by a second visit to The Gambia in the largest hotel for another 6 years. The well worn chef’s clogs then moved through Abu Dhabi & Dublin before returning “back home” to The Gambia again in 2005.
He spent 3 years at one of the other 5 star boutique hotels here, a stint in Sweden and then here at Ngala since December 2010.
Jonathan’s style of cuisine is healthy and light, made easy (he says) by using the fresh fish, herbs & local produce. |
