10. Kirk Haworth, Chef & Co-Founder of Plates
In this episode we speak Kirk Haworth, an incredibly esteemed chef, mental health activist and a leading voice in plant based food, and most recently as the first plant-based chef to ever compete on the Great British Menu.
If you know of plant based food, in London, or pretty much anywhere, you will know of him. He makes vegetables look phenomenal - showing them as the primary on the plate! He has made many of us question whether meat has a place on the menu at all. Kirk has worked with incredible restaurants such as The French Laundry, Restaurant Sat Bains and the Quay
It was in 2016 , when Kirk was diagnosed with Lyme disease - that he began to dig deep into the medical impact and benefits of food - which he now creatively explores through Plates - a boundary pushing Plant based restaurant and creative food studio. Kirk is also passionate mental health activist and runs training and education through Hospitality wellness
