Build a Culture in Your Kitchen Based on Respect,
Real Results and
Clear Communication
I help chefs build teams
that actually give a damn,
know what they are doing
and understand what's expected - without constant oversight.

Hey, I'm Simon.
I've been in the kitchen for more than three decades. I came for the food, fun and chaos and ended up staying for the people.I've had the genuine pleasure of helping to develop hundreds of cooks, dishwashers, chefs and sous chefs over the years.With an array of amazing, and sometimes not so amazing experiences behind me, I decided to let 2022 be the beginning of a new chapter.Now I run a one person business where I get to coach and advise chefs to lead with hospitality and structure and talk to people in our industry on my podcast, CULINARY MECHANIC.
