Welcome to this week's episode of We Recover Loudly where Shell is joined by the brilliant Neil Rankin. Neil, a physics graduate, began his career in French fine dining but is best known for his talent in BBQ and fire-based cooking. He has worked with acclaimed US BBQ chef Adam Perry Lang, and has made significant contributions to the BBQ and meat cookery world as a published author, columnist, and TV personality.
Neil is now focusing on creating natural plant-based meat alternatives under his brand Symplicity Foods, which are supplied to top UK restaurants and Michelin-starred chefs. His latest venture involves collaborating with a well-known burger chain to create a special burger. Neil has also held positions such as Chef Director at temper group of restaurants and Head Chef at highly acclaimed establishments like John Salt and Smokehouse. He is an accomplished chef, having competed in the 9th series of BBC2's Great British Menu. Neil's book, Low and Slow, was a bestseller upon its release in 2016.
We discussed
- His early experiences in the kitchen, and what drove him to become a chef
- The incidents of drinking and drug taking that he experienced working in kitchens.
- Seeing colleagues falling away from the profession due to addiction
- His own journey into a more mindful relationship with drinking
Neil is a great example of how you change your relationship with alcohol and have a more positive, non-dependant experience with it. He is also a shining light that proves to be successful as a chef, you do not have to fall into the archetype of ‘shouting/aggressive/addicted’ brut!
