Hi! I'm Kasae Fraser, the host of this podcast. I've been a professional chef for the last 11 years, working my way through different countries and kitchens, and I've landed in the UK.
I started this podcast because above all, I love hearing the unfiltered experiences that other Chefs have had throughout their career, the highs and lows of being in the hospitality industry, and the struggles that have ultimatley led them to where they are now. We have candid conversations about what its really like to be a chef, and explore what makes them tick.
We also have guests on that aren't chefs, but are a vital part of the industry, to hear their point of view about how our food system works, their role in it and how it all ties together.

James Cochran - Legal battles, comebacks, and kitchen grit
On today's episode, James dives into the brutal truths of the industry, and how he thinks it is changing for the better.
James has a unique and bold style of cooking, which is unapologetic and packed with flavour. We talk about what influenced his cooking style, and what direction he plans to take next. James talks about his time on Great British Menu, and what his sucess on the competition did for the opening of his restaurant 12:51.
We also chat a little bit about bullying culture, and what his early experiences were like in commercial kitchens, and how that shaped him into the chef he is today.
Please enjoy, James Cochran.
