The COOK.

Giles Mild/nay, 24, has been a professional cook for three years. He and his father talk about his choice of career.

Giles

I think I’ve always been interested in cookery. My grandparents (on my mother’s side) lived in a huge old manor house in Lincolnshire and they had a wonderful cook. She made fantastic standard English food: her roast beef and Yorkshire pudding was out of this world. I used to love going down to the kitchen and watching her work, and picked up a lot of cooking tips from her. I realised that I wanted to be a cook when I was about 12. I went to a boarding school and when other boys chose to do sport, I chose cookery.

By the time I was 15 I had taken over the cooking at home for my parents’ dinner parties, and I had started to make up my own recipes. I knew my parents would not approve of cooking as a career, so I decided to introduce them slowly to the idea. I told them that I wanted to do a cookery course for fun, and I went for a month to a hotel in Torquay. I enjoyed it so much. I knew I couldn’t put off telling my parents any longer, so I brought the schooled up one night over dinner. At first there was silence, and then my father asked me why. I explained that was cooking like painting a picture or writing a book. Every meal was act of creation. I could see that my father was not convinced, but he didn’t get angry he just patted me on the shoulder and smiled. My mother kissed me. And now that I have opened my own restaurant, I think they are very proud of me. However, my grandfather (on my father’s side) is not so kind, he thinks I‘m mad to have given up farming.

Giles’ father

I know that times have changed, but I was brought up with a butler and a cook to look after me, and I never went near the kitchen. I was taken aback at first when Giles announced what he wanted to do. His grandfather still hasn’t got over it, but his mother and 1 are delighted that he is doing something he enjoys. Nowadays anyone with a job that he enjoys very lucky.
