GC: LUXURY NEARCHOS TYLLIROS Plan N Plate
Q Thanks for taking the time to speak with us Nearchos. Can you tell the readers about your background, along with the how and why you become a chef? Thank you for giving me this opportunity to get in direct contact with the large audience that you have. Also I wanted to congratulate you for the amazing job that you are doing as Game Changers Magazine. Now when I finished the Higher Hotel Institute, I started working in a couple of restaurants but through those years, I saw the thirst for knowledge bursting my eyes. So I decided to open my own place in Limassol, a café-restaurant in Cyprus with the name “Incontro”. But again I knew even then, that there was going to be a time that I would make the ‘bumblebee fly’. So I decided to leave for London, to gain experiences that I knew by staying in Cyprus, it would be very difficult to achieve them. Now for answering the question how and why I became a chef, if a person has passion towards eating good food, enjoyed the process of cooking right from the childhood at home, help mother in the daily cooking, then that person can choose this path as a profession. Q In our opinion you are one of the country’s finest chefs. What does it take to get to that level of expertise, and stay at the top? In my opinion I think if you want to succeed in what you are doing, you need be humble and work to achieve your goals. But the most important reason that keeps my interest undiminished, is the love that I have for the profession. When you do what you truly love, then your interest will never get vanished. Q Running a kitchen takes a huge amount of organization, what tips can you give? There are hundreds of tips that every chef could give, but I think the most important one is to have the right people by your side and also be able to support them in all ways and provide tools that they need to make their life more efficient.
Q You created Plan N Plate and Eat with Nearchos which are bespoke services for either the home or a high level corporate event. What gave you the idea for this service? Actually is little bit of everything. There is time that a host needs to impress or to have sustainability in what is being GAME CHANGERS Issue #32
