#9 Alex Clare-From Prawn Peeler To Norfolk's Head Chef
Manage episode 360358827 series 3415643
Alex Clare is just 26 years old and owns Norfolk's Edge Catering & Events, a luxury dining service for those seeking the finer food experiences in life.
From starting out in the kitchen peeling prawns at just 15, we talk about Alex's journey from pot washing, to cooking in up to 8 private homes a week, including many business owners & celebrities.
Without a mentor, Alex has had to overcome challenges, such as managing his obsession, dealing with issues in getting his commercial kitchen built & the fear of spending money.
We talk about the pressure of business, delayed gratification, the cut throat food industry and his desire to only hire 'cool' people.
His honesty and authenticity is clear in this podcast, so if you want to hear how someone relatively young is so driven, then give it a listen!
It's episode 9, it's the first in season 2, & it's The Growth Cast.
