Teaching you to cook classics like a pro
Thom Bateman’s journey into the culinary world is as unique as the dishes he creates. Starting his career at a Latin American restaurant at the tender age of 17, he quickly rose to the position of head chef. After six years at the helm, Thom decided to step away from the industry to explore the wider world. A decade later, he returned to the same restaurant, transforming it into a fine dining destination known as The Flintlock at Cheddleton.
The passion Thom Bateman felt for cooking didn’t just stay in the kitchen. In 2019, he started a food blog page reigniting his passion for cooking. His unique recipes and dishes quickly gained a large and loyal following. His approach to cooking is modern yet not abstract, creating new food memories for people while being creative with things that people typically recognize.
Thom’s influence extends beyond the kitchen. He has a significant following on social media, connecting with chefs and food enthusiasts across the world. His style is based on the classic British dishes, like Yorkshire puddings so fluffy you want to use them as pillows. But occasionally he ventures outside England and even Europe.
