When it comes to cooking, chef Jeremy Chan refuses to be boxed in.
At Ikoyi, the two-Michelin-star London restaurant he co-founded in 2017, his creations don’t sway towards West African cuisine, despite having borrowed the establishment’s name from his co-founder’s hometown in Lagos, Nigeria.
Nor does the food overtly tell of Chan’s international background – born in Britain to a Chinese father and Canadian mother, he grew up between Hong Kong, Canada and the United States. Instead, it is a restaurant that firmly reflects Chan’s totality of cultures.
Yet on the night of April 23, Chan, 39, went back to his roots and cooked a menu inspired by his memories of Hong Kong, the city where he spent the first eight years of his life.
After leaving a career in finance at age 26, Chan began to cook professionally, gaining experience through staging at restaurants such as Noma in Copenhagen and The French Laundry in California.
