Scrumptious Chef No 2 - Daniel Green

This one's easy. A chef who used to be a model!

Dan Green is a healthy foods cook who has appeared on BBC, UK Food, Discovery Health, and Carlton Food. When he was younger Dan was overweight, and started developing recipes to help him drop the pounds, taking inspiration from his favourite british and asian foods.

So he lost all the weight and became a model, at one point working for Gucci. He soon realised that his heart lay in cooking so he decided to drop the modelling and focus on that instead.

He now has his own cooking shows in the US and Malaysia, as well as a variety of cookbooks and is due to appear on QVC during 2009.

I've never tried his recipes, nor have I seen him on television. But just look at his face...

Scrumptious Chef No -1 Jean Christophe Novelli

 

I've chosen Jean Christophe as my first Scrumptious chef because...well, just look at him!

The 47 year old chef (who looks about 30), was born in France. He moved to Britain in 1983, where he worked in Keith Floyd's Devon Restaurant; 'Maltsters Arms', before branching out on his own, and deciding to live in Britain permanently.

What makes him Scrumptious?

Ok, so besides the sexy french accent and intense eyes, he's obviously a talented (and rich) guy. He owns restaurants in London, South Africa and France as well a cooking school at his farmhouse (sigh) in Hertfordshire.

Oh yes, and he loves dogs. So much so that he's got 21 of them. And you know what they say about men who likes dogs?

No? me neither - but I know it's something positive!
