Chef in Tillsonburg, Ontario

Martin Robbins was born in the beautiful Cotswolds, England. He holds a diploma passed by Oxford University in graphic arts. After graduating Martin discovered a love for cooking food. His new passion took him to some very well established kitchens, where he quickly developed skills in all things culinary. Martin yearned to extend his knowledge. He travelled to the south of France, to gain insight within the art of Charcuterie and Butchery. Martin has been a team member in some awesome restaurants in Europe, as well as Five Diamond restaurants in Canada. His passion has led him to the personal kitchens of our Former Prime Minister the honourable Jean Chrétien and his extended family in Quebec. When asked about his approach to cooking food, Martins answer will always be……..I treat cooking like life, you keep it natural and do not over complicate it and the flavours will always come through. My first language is English, I am also able to communicate in French, as I lived in Quebec for more than ten years. Michelin, Five Diamond, Four Diamond, Relais Chateaux experience. I have over nine years of private household experience with impeccable references. I have been responsible for more than twenty employees. Whilst working for the Prime Minister of Canada's family, Andre Desmarais and France Chretien in Quebec, Canada, I had the pleasure to cook for his guests, such as Bill Clinton, Jean Chretien (former Prime minister of Canada), Wayne Gretzky and George Bush. I had to pass several security checks and had to sign confidentiality papers, which I successfully passed. I have excellent checkable references. I am a Canadian and British citizen. I have excellent check-able references a current clean driving licence and two vehicles. Kind Regards, Martin Robbins.
