Nick Nairn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Nairn, celebrity chef, born (January 12, 1959) in Stirling, Scotland.

Nairn has been a regular chef on BBC's popular Ready Steady Cook since the first series in 1994 and in 1990, he became the youngest chef to win a Michelin star in Scotland. A self-taught chef, his determination to master the culinary arts resulted in the creation of two successful restaurants - one near Aberfoyle and the other in Glasgow, both called Nairn's.

He has presented three BBC cookery series, all with accompanying books, and he also writes a column for the Scottish Sunday Mail. In 2003, he sold his restaurant in Glasgow to concentrate on Nairn's Cookery School and a catering business and to spend more time with his family. He recently defeated Tom Lewis in the Scottish heat of the BBC television series Great British Menu.[1]. After beating his friend in the business, he went on to cook a main course of Roe venison for Queen Elizabeth II and 250 quests at the Mansion House for her official 80'th birthday celebration.[2].
