Sophie Michell

Chef / Co-owner Local & Co.

Food was a massive part of Sophie Michell’s upbringing. She recalls her mother preparing savoury dishes and her grandmother’s outrageous cakes— sometimes with green and blue marbled batter. Early on, cooking became an escape for Michell. A kind of satisfying, therapeutic activity. Her passion for cooking, savouring, and reading cookbooks led Michell to dabble in the restaurant industry. And she hasn’t left since. She trained at Butlers Wharf Chef School and by age 19, was nominated “Young Chef of the Year” by the Craft Guild of Chefs. Now with a wealth of experience from working in kitchens across the United Kingdom, Michell is a best-selling author, food writer, and revered chef.

Matt Worswick

Culinary Director

The Cliff

Matt Worswick says he’s “a bit of a one-trick pony”. He will always be around food (whether he’s cooking it or not) because it’s what he knows and loves—and it’s been that way since he was 18 years old.

Worswick started in the industry as an Apprentice Chef and steadily moved his way up the ranks across the United Kingdom to Head Chef. He’s earned a Michelin star twice at the Latymer Restaurant and Glenapp Castle respectively. Worswick hails most recently from a position as Executive Head Chef at Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill inside the Savoy Hotel

Kenneth Theysen

Kenneth Theysen is the owner and main operator of Timeless-Pixx, a well-established, dynamic Aruba-based photo studio. Theysen has been a long-term collaborator of Menu International, delivering astonishing photographs, one edition after another.

With an eye for detail but also a broad vision of large-scale projects, Theysen was the natural choice when it came to choosing a photographer who would cover Barbados’ extensive and varied restaurant scene.

Theysen’s esthetic sense and work ethic make him versatile and a pleasure to collaborate with. This is why so many of the island’s great (and very busy) chefs are always relaxed and in a great mood during his photo shoots. And, as any good photographer knows, that is just priceless.
