Celebrity Chef David Spanner

David’s first food memory is of his grandmother’s veal tongue with brussel sprouts and days off are spent surfing and spending time with his wife and daughter, Lou Lou. A favourite Restaurant is L’Amour Dans Le Four, a small French restaurant and wine bar in San Francisco (the name translates to ‘love in the oven’), for the great food and ambience. Chefs he looks to for inspiration are American Thomas Weibull, current executive chef at Plouf, and the team he works with. David’s pearls of wisdom for us cooks at home: “read and try new recipes, do not be intimidated by them, eat your mistakes and enjoy them.”
