Meghan chef can stand the heat

SHE’S surmounted challenges that would make others wilt — cooking for Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding and becoming Britain’s first female chef to snaffle three Michelin stars.

Now Clare Smyth pays tribute to Gordon Ramsay, who recruited her in 2002. Describing him as ‘great to work with’, she says toiling in Ramsay’s kitchens was ‘survival of the fittest’, adding: ‘I like that kind of environment’.

Her view contrasts with that of MasterChef judge Anna Haugh who, without naming names, has said: ‘ It’s disgraceful that abusive chefs are excused because the environment is high-paced.’
