Starting from the position of commis chef (basically a hand to other chefs) with Mrs Beeton’s Cookbook and Household Guidance as his only source of knowledge on cooking, Eamon has helped shape the service industry and helped improve the standards of quality in preparing dishes.
Through his book, we see Eamon shaped by his mother’s keenness in getting the freshest and best products for food even though they didn’t grow up having much.
Eamon Mullan is an executive chef, of no mean repute. For the man who has more than once prepared pallet delights for the queen of England, presidents and celebrities, the journey has been an eventful one as he captures in his autobiography Food for the Famous.
It all started when his pride that had gotten the best of him, saw him drop out having sat only one ‘O’ level (in Art). The indiscipline also ruined his chances while he was on trial at Blackpool Football Club as a 16-year-old in 1967.
