Jonny Lake

Jonny began his culinary journey by volunteering at the meals-on-wheels charity, Santropol Roulant in Montréal, Quebec, while earning a university degree in physics and biology. His growing passion for cooking and feeding others led him to pursue a career as a chef, training at the Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec. He then moved to Italy, working at Michelin-starred restaurants A Spurcacciun-a and Quintilio in Liguria, and for the legendary Italian chef Gualtiero Marchesi at L’Albereta in Lombardy.

In 2005, Jonny moved to the UK to join The Fat Duck, becoming Head Chef in 2009 and later Executive Head Chef of The Fat Duck Group. He left the restaurant in 2018 to pursue personal projects and collaborate on Trivet with Isa Bal. Under their leadership, Trivet achieved Michelin-quality success, earning 1 Star in 2022 and 2023, and 2 Stars in 2024.
