Born in 1960s Dundee, Jeremy began his culinary career in a Scottish country house hotel, before moving down to London to work at Terence Conran’s Bibendium - inside Michelin House on the Fulham Road. Another Conran venture came next. In 1994 Sir Terence asked Jeremy to be the head chef at his Blueprint Café at the Design Museum - where he would end up staying for 18 years.
