Profile:
Gino inherited his love of cooking at a very young age thanks to his grandfather, a Head Chef. From the teenager who cleaned the pizza oven in Naples to the food manager at a Pavarotti reception, Gino has travelled a culinary path that has taken him far from his poor Neapolitan roots. After training in Italy, he continued to develop his skills through the kitchens of restaurants in Europe, including Perignon in Nice and a spell as Head Chef at Sly Stallone's Mambo King in Marbella at just 19, before coming to England.
A career as Head Chef in some of London's top restaurants followed, taking his profile and reputation to new heights. Before long TV producers began to notice the charismatic young chef and he hasn't left our screens since. With broad appeal, Gino's fans range from "A" list celebrities and Heads of State to busy mums and housewives.
His appearance and subsequent crowning in the hit ITV series "I'm A Celebrity - Get me out of here" cemented his A List Chef status and ensured his latest cook books have been flying off the shelves. Any courses he hosts are booked up within days of being announced. We were delighted and honoured to have Gino at The Cooking School running Masterclasses and for his continued support of the Focus on Food Campaign.
