#165 Gabriel Gaté
from Conversation with a chef Hosted by Jo Rittey
I cannot tell you how excited I was to meet Gabriel Gate and talk to him. Before we talked, I imagined the conversation would be about cooking, food and being a chef, and it was, but we also talked about life and the things that are important. When I told people that I was going to talk to Gabriel, the universal reaction, was, “Ah Gabriel Gate, what a lovely man.” Everyone has heard of Gabriel. They know him as a chef with an international reputation as a cookery author, a television presenter and a cookery teacher, and they also know him as a gentleman who is genuinely interested in others and in the goodness he can share through food. I first met Gabriel at the celebration evening for the Australian team returning from the Bocuse d’Or competition that took place in Lyon this January. Gabriel is on the Bocuse d’Or committee and is a fierce and proud advocate for the industry and the hospitality industry needs more people like him. We sat down to chat for the podcast at Via Verona in Kew. Gabriel gave me a copy of his book, So French, So Sweet, and I think I will always be on dessert duty at any gathering from now on. We chatted in French for a while, which I of course loved, before getting straight to the heart of things.
