Over time, he refined his craft and built a professional career as a baker. He became head baker at several notable hotels in the UK, including The Dorchester, Chester Grosvenor and Spa, and Cliveden Hotel, before moving to Cyprus, where he worked at the Annabelle and Anassa Hotels. His experiences abroad exposed him to traditional Mediterranean baking methods, which influenced his style.

His books focus on baking techniques, recipes, and culinary traditions. He is also a regular contributor to magazines such as BBC Good Food and Waitrose Magazine.
