Flavours of Yorkshire Experience
What Makes a Meal into a Memory? With Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall In 2009, the nation tuned into BBC Two’s Great British Menu to watch a chef from Yorkshire execute a perfect – and now famous – treacle tart. The following year, that same chef launched his own TV series, Island Feast, which quickly propelled him to culinary fame. But Shaun Rankin had already been making waves in the restaurant world for years before landing on our screens. Having polished his skills at London’s prestigious Mayfair Hotel, he spent many years as a chef in the Channel Islands, where in 2005 he was awarded his first Michelin star. The following year, he was named British Chef of the Year by The Independent, and in 2013 he opened Ormer in St. Helier to instant critical acclaim and a host of accolades, before returning to our screens in 2017’s Masterchef series. Throughout his illustrious career, Shaun has worked as both a chef and a consultant, possessing a rare combination of boundary-pushing culinary innovation and unrivalled business expertise. It’s a skillset that’s put him firmly in demand with some of the country’s most renowned eateries, so in 2017, it seemed only fitting that he was approached to lead an ambitious new project that would take him home to his native Yorkshire. 10
