Helping chefs from vision to plate
MSK is a business led by chefs, with chefs in its heart. We believe in great ingredients, in creativity, and in pushing constantly for the best flavours, textures and presentation. We want to help chefs deliver the WOW factor, over and over again, and we offer products designed to do just that.
Our ingredients and tools are found in the best kitchens in the country, from the top Michelin-starred restaurants to artisan cafes, along with cocktail bars, confectioners, bakeries and patisseries, chocolatiers, brewers & distillers, domestic chefs and more.
Our chefs Vicky and Rupert are in constant demand for demonstrations and development sessions. Along with an expert knowledge of modern culinary ingredients and techniques, they have each had substantial careers at the top of the industry:
VICKY ENDERSEN
Vicky worked at the Michelin-starred Roscoff restaurant in Belfast, before joining John Burton Race on the team that won 2 stars at L’Ortolan and again at The Landmark. She returned to L’Ortolan as Head Pastry Chef under Alan Murchison and then Restaurant Tom Aikens before joining MSK in 2006. This was an exciting time with a surge in interest in ‘Molecular’ cuisine, and Vicky was instrumental in MSK taking a lead in the use of these modern ingredients, translating the science into practical and easy-to-use recipes, and sourcing innovative new products from around the world, often testing hundreds of alternatives to pick the one version which delivers the best real-world performance for a chef.
RUPERT ROWLEY
Rupert was a key member of the formative teams at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, L’Ortolan and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay before becoming Executive Head Chef of Fischer’s at Baslow Hall, where he held a Michelin Star for 17 years as well as owning his own restaurant and bar, Rowley’s. Rupert joined MSK in 2018 and is particularly passionate about training chefs. Rupert has judged for the Craft Guild of Chefs, Skills for Chefs and the Universal Cookery and Food Festival. He is a member of the Master Chefs of Great Britain and has appeared on Great British Menu, The Hairy Bikers and Yes Chef. At MSK, Rupert set up and runs the MSK Academy programme where he supports staff and students in a growing number of colleges around the country with his expertise.
