Asian Food Channel brought in Swedish chef Tareq Taylor to Manila and I had the chance to meet him over an intimate luncheon last Saturday at Sage Restaurant in Makati Shangri-La. Starring in Tareq Taylor’s Nordic Cookery on the Asian Food Channel, he brings over 25 years of culinary experience behind him. He has lived and travelled all over the world during his career as a chef and brings all his cultural and worldwide influences into his works. Tareq has also authored three best-selling books in Sweden published by FormaBooks.
When he isn’t filming his television programmes or writing best-selling cookbooks, Tareq runs the Slottsträdgårds Cafe (Castle Garden Café) in the Royal Park in Malmö, Sweden. Keeping in line with his local food passions, a large percentage of the ingredients are sourced in the huge garden behind the café. The café only boasts a seasonal menu, and other ingredients are sourced exclusively from local suppliers.
Tareq’s interests extend beyond cooking. He is a surfing enthusiast, repairs and modifies vintage cars, and plays the drums in his spare time. Quite an interesting chef!
