TOP QUOTES

“Fine dining which is produce led; more time sourcing it, less time cooking it.” Luke

“I think last year was the first time as a fully grown adult that asparagus didn’t feature in my life.”

Luke

“A cookery course in Italy means standing in the corner of a kitchen and not touching anything.”

Anna

“If you spend time understanding what a strawberry should taste like, then your career will become

much easier.” Luke

ABOUT THE GUEST

The experience of living abroad as a youngster shaped Luke Holder’s culinary beliefs: “First and

foremost every cuisine is tasty, generally”, he says equitably, adding: “Having been brought up in the

Middle East and Italy, where the culture of eating is much more family orientated, where people are

given dishes in the middle of the table and take part… it definitely influenced the way I want my

customers to feel comfortable eating.” Working in Italy also instilled Luke with the value of local,

seasonal produce and how cooking should be produce, rather than technique, led. Luke returned to

the UK to Head Chef at the Lime Wood Hotel in 2011. In 2014 he formed Hartnett Holder and Co

with Angela Hartnett.
