How to turn a passion into a business
Nuno Mendes, Chef
Our guest on today’s episode is Nuno Mendes, the world-renowned chef behind Chiltern Firehouse, Bacchus, and most recently Mãos — a remarkable new intimate dining project.
In a fascinating episode of the Gentleman’s Journal podcast, Nuno reveals why it’s okay to have no idea what you want to do with your life after university; why it’s as important to be pleasant as it is to be talented; and the one food he absolutely can’t stand to eat.
Our thanks once again to Mark’s Club for playing host.
This episode has been recorded at Mark's Club, read by Joseph Bullmore and produced by Martin Lumsden.
