In 1994 Michael took up the position of Head Chef at Gidleigh Park. Gidleigh’s restaurant was already rated amongst the most prestigious in the country so the position represented a massive challenge and opportunity for a young and ambitious chef. Yet, only two months into the job, Michael suffered a terrible car accident in which he lost his right arm. Remarkably, he was back in the kitchen part time within two weeks, and full-time after just four. With the support of the owners and an unwavering belief in his own ability to overcome obstacles, he returned to the kitchen more focused and determined than ever to pursue his dream of reaching the top of his profession.
