Q&A With Chef Novelli!
03 Feb 2010
It has been a busy start to the year for you JC. What was it like being the ‘face' of The France Show once again this year?
I always love being at The France Show. This year the weather wasn't the best so it was pleasing to see so many people turn up at Earls Court. People seemed to love the demonstrations from me, Steven and Mark Baumann in my cookery theatre and it was great to talk to so many people who are passionate about food like me.
What about All-Star Mr & Mrs and winning the money for Keech Hospice Care?
Michelle and I were so happy to be able to help Keech because they are wonderful organization local to us that do so much fantastic work. It is a way of giving something back to the community and a cause I was delighted to help. On the actual show, it was good fun to be out there and I enjoyed answering some of the questions, even if I got a few wrong!
Have you enjoyed hosting your courses at the Novelli Academy this year so far?
Of course! I really look forward to my Masterclasses and Tasting & Demonstrations. They allow me to be myself and share my passion with others, hopefully giving people who attend a day they'll never forget.
Your show in the USA, Chef Academy, appears to have been a success in America. Do you have a message for all the fans out there?
I loved making the show and I'd just like to say a big thankyou to everyone who has sent through good wishes. I really appreciate all the comments that people have made. I'd love to go out to the USA again but we will see what happens. In the meantime I hope people continue to enjoy the re-runs of Chef Academy and keep in touch!
