Originally from Cambridgeshire, Danny started out as a professional ice hockey player and became Captain of the England team at the age of sixteen. Danny went on to train in Switzerland, where he became fascinated with European cookery. He then moved to Canada, where he got the chance to experience kitchen life, working at the critically acclaimed West Wind Inn.

To complete his training, Danny returned to Britain and attended The Grange Cookery School. He then worked at the fashionable St Martins Lane Hotel and later became a freelance chef, working for a diverse clientele.

After gaining this cooking experience, Danny turned towards a career in the media, winning a national modelling competition for the new face of Wella and advertising Hellman's mayonnaise.

In 2003 the multi-talented Danny was able to combine his passion for cookery with a television career, becoming presenter of Wild and Fresh. In this series he travels to Canada to enjoy authentic Canadian cuisine and cooks for his various hosts. Danny's latest show, Danny By The Sea sees him returning to his childhood roots on the North Norfolk coast, searching out the great local produce and cooking up his favourite recipes.
