Paul Young

Paul Young, more famously recognized for his music from the 80’s, began his taste for food 20 years ago, whilst touring the United States. Some members of his band were ‘foodies’ so they ate out in good restaurants. Paul purchased a cookbook in the U.S which was the beginning of his affair with food.

In September 2006, he appeared in the BBC1 cookery show Celebrity Masterchef, and wining the first round, allowing him a place in the quarter-finals.

A year later, he was a contestant on another cookery show, ITV's Hell's Kitchen. He proved he could take the heat and gained the respect of volatile head chef Marco Pierre White and the public to win through to the final rounds. Working with the Michelin-starred chef was the highlight of the show for Paul.

Paul is currently working part time in the restaurant his ex wife, Stacey, runs with her new partner. Enjoy some of Paul’s Cajun cuisine at the Upstairs restaurant in North London.
