INTRODUCING
Mr Turner
In January 2022 and at the start of the Spring Term, Mr Turner (or AJ) took over as Head of Cookery School after Mrs Taylor moved to further opportunities within Leiths.

A bit about AJ: Alistair Turner – Head of Cookery. AJ has lived all over the world, from Barbados to Bath, until he fell in love with Cornwall and a Cornish lass (not necessarily in that order). When he’s not at work he’s playing in his smokehouse, so in essence he’s a proper food nerd. AJ is the serious big guns of the department, having a Leiths Diploma under his belt, plus four-and-ahalf years working his way up the ranks at Steins. However, with our charm and wit (and our promise of a Sunday off), we managed to poach him from Steins.
Favourite activities? “Smoking lots of different types of fish.” Favourite recipe? “My nana’s gravy and her mushroom vol-au-vents (not together though).” Favourite place? “Chicken Rita’s in Barbados.”
