So How Did I Get Here? with Sam Lax
Education
Scott Findlay has been a professional chef for over 22 years. He’s trained under Gordon Ramsay, started a successful restaurant franchise in Australia and spent nearly a decade on the road, rustling up meals for some of the biggest musicians in the biz - from Beyonce to Paul McCartney as they tour the World playing gigs.
He’s great mates with Pink, like family to Rod Stuart, nearly died on a reef break off Tahiti, been to jail in Padang and lived to tell the (hungover) tale of surviving an 8.6 earthquake whilst working as the head chef on an exclusive surf resort in the Mentawi’s. In short, he’s lived an epic life to date and continues to do so, with his next exciting venture, vegan restaurant Flave, soon to come to Sydney.
Scott had many a story (and even a few mouth-watering recipes) to share, so grab a notepad, kick back and enjoy!
You can follow Scotty on his personal instagram (scottyfinz) to have a drool at all of his home cooked food, follow Flave (flaveworld) to get in on the ground level of his new and exciting vegan adventure and finally, you can also watch the first episode of the series Scott shot with QOOQ in Paris about his time and recipes cooking for the stars here.
