Born in Stirling, Scotland, 30-year-old Theodore Chana has accumulated many years of worldwide culinary experience.

Born and raised in a family of internationally renowned creative artists, Theodore’s inspiration to cook delicious, textured, vibrant, and sustainable cuisine comes from his parents.

Theodore Chana has since been inspired to create dishes that strive for taste, texture, colour and sustainability within the local area.
