The Seven Sins of John Burton-Race |
Chef Patron, The New Angel |
|
John Burton-Race, successful Michelin Star chef, television personality and restaurateur, started out by working his way through the tough hierarchy of a kitchen brigade at restaurants such as Quaglino’s, Hotel Meurice London, Chewton Glen and La Sorbonne Oxford (1*Michelin).
He ended up at Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons where he was promoted to Sous Chef, before heading up the team at Petit Blanc; it was here that he won his first Michelin Star. In 1986, John fulfilled his lifelong dream of opening his own restaurant, L’Ortolan in Berkshire where he achieved his own two Michelin Stars and then went on to mirror this achievement in 2000 at JBR Restaurant at the Landmark Hotel.
In 2002 John moved to France for a year to relearn and discover ingredients and his love of cooking, before moving to Devon in 2004. Here he opened "The New Angel" in Dartmouth, Devon which was awarded a Michelin Star in 2005 and retained it until his departure in 2010.
John has just opened The New Angel, Notting Hill, and is currently consulting for ‘The Sanctum on the Green’ in Berkshire and ‘My Dining Room’ in Fulham. |
