Jean-Christophe Novelli

The Malls Shopping Centre Demonstrations 11am, 1.30pm, 4pm

Jean-Christophe Novelli is a 5 AA Rosette and Michelin award winning chef, who is also dubbed “the nation’s favourite French Chef”.

He began his exciting career at the age of fourteen as a baker in his home town of Arras, Northern France, before becoming private Head Chef to Elie de Rothschild in Paris at the age of 19. JeanChristophe’s life changed completely when he arrived in Great Britain in 1983. He spent a year taking care of Keith Floyd’s pub, ‘The Maltsters’, as Head Chef whilst Keith was filming his famous TV Shows.

In 1996, Jean-Christophe opened his first restaurant, Maison Novelli in Clerkenwell, London, followed quickly by Novelli W8, Novelli EC1 and Les Saveurs in Mayfair. Jean-Christophe also launched Novelli at the Cellars, Cape Town’s leading five-star Relais et Chateaux Hotel, Moulin de Jean in Normandy, France and was Chef Consultant on Sea France Ferries. Over his career Jean-Christophe has accumulated no less than four Michelin Stars.

Jean’s passion to pass on his wealth of culinary knowledge to others led to his desire to open

20

his own cookery school. The Novelli Academy opened its doors on April 22nd 2005 and, within three months, was voted amongst the ‘Top 25 Cookery Schools in the World’. Jean-Christophe restored part of his 14th century Hertfordshire farmhouse so that the Novelli Academy could be accommodated in his own home. Jean-Christophe is the owner and co-founder of the Academy. In September 2007 he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts from Bedfordshire University for his 30 years of dedication to his craft and outstanding achievements in cooking. Jean-Christophe is only the third Chef in history to achieve this.

Jean-Christophe is also a well-known TV chef having appeared on a wide variety of the UK’s most popular cookery programmes. He has also featured on an impressive selection of prime time TV shows including Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Hell’s Kitchen, Celebrity X Factor, Loose Women, Through the Keyhole, The Apprentice, The Alan Titchmarsh Show, BBC Breakfast and MTV Cribs. Along with Gordon Ramsay, Jean-Christophe is back on UK television as one of the judges in the new show Culinary Genius.

Getting to know Jean-Christophe

Q What or who inspired your love of

cooking?

A lot of people but firstly my Mum and my Grandmothers. I had one French and one Italian Grandmother, What a fantastic combination! A lot of people still inspire me now.

Q Where and in what role did you start your career as a chef?

My first job was as a baker in France, I was 14. This was my first job and the most memorable. Before this I used to sell pancakes at the fair.

The fresh summer tree In celebration of summer in Basingstoke, members of the public will be encouraged to make small fruits using a variety of 3d media such as tissue paper, wool, pompoms and Play-Doh depending on age and ability of participants. The objects will then be installed on one or several trees.

Afternoon Tea, Jazz & Draw The Tea Bar

Why not treat yourself and a friend to a delicious Afternoon Tea with 2 for £20 at The Tea Bar.

Q What drives your choice of ingredients for your recipes?

I am very lucky to have the gift of improvisation. I need to be really hungry to be able to create my best dishes. Luckily I still enjoy cooking which helps!

Q What or who do you feel was the

biggest influence on your career?

Many people but first my parents. There are many other people including Elie De Rothschild and his son Nathaniel. I was so privileged to have the opportunity to work for them. Then Raymond Blanc, Marco Pierre White, Keith Floyd and Paul Young, whose music inspired me as early as the 80’s.

Q Do you have a favourite recipe and if so what is it?

My mum’s recipe Stuffed Baked Tomatoes My grandmothers homemade tomato sauce, which I still use in my Cooking Academy to this very day!

Q What do you order when you go out

for a meal?

I always ask two things: What type of sparking water they have and what selection of bread. I also always look at the dessert menu and decide what I am having straight away. I am happy to allow the chef to choose for me.
