Mike Robinson

Mike's passion for mountaineering led him to Chamonix in France during the early 90's where a brief stint as a plongeur was his first step on the culinary ladder. His natural talent and hard work got him to where he is today. It was during a spell in Chamonix in 2001 when Mike was spotted by a production company and asked to present the series "Chalet Slaves". Since then Mike has become an accomplished and highly rated television presenter, amongst others, appearing on Good Food Live and Saturday Kitchen.

Mike's latest foray into the world of television is on Tales from the Country, currently showing on ITV on Thursday evenings. Previously he has presented a number of series for cable, including "Heavens Kitchen" which followed the progress of the Pot Kiln from old fashioned pub to game and wild food heaven. He has also written the cookery book "Wild Flavours" which can be bought from the cookery school and signed should you so wish! He regularly contributes to The Field magazine and Food Monthly with the Reading Evening Post.
