Food is Richard’s life-long passion! It was his hobby before he joined the army as an apprentice chef, and during his military service he was posted to different parts of the world, cooking almost exclusively in the officers’ messes and sometimes for visiting Royalty.

Having retired from the army, he began his second career teaching at Oxford, sharing his knowledge and expertise with up and coming young chefs. After eleven years formally teaching, he continued encouraging young chefs in his post as Head Chef at Flint House, Goring-on-Thames, between 1999 and 2004 .
Richard and Jan moved to France in 2004, opened ‘La Chouette’ to guests and life has come full circle for Richard. Once again food is his hobby, but is taken very seriously none the less.
