Everything about Tobie Puttock totally explained
Tobie Puttock is an
Australian
celebrity chef, best known for his association with British chef
Jamie Oliver.
Cooking career
Born in
Melbourne,
Victoria, Puttock trained at
Box Hill Institute of TAFE, and first worked at Caffe e Cucina in
South Yarra. Working around Australia, and eventually Europe, Puttock first met Jamie Oliver in 1999 at
River Café in
London, where both of them worked for a time. Puttock returned to Melbourne, where he set up his own Italian restaurant, Termini, and appeared as a regular guest chef on the Australian version of
Ready Steady Cook, a cooking game show based on a British format.
In 2001, he was contacted by Oliver, now a well-known celebrity chef, who asked for his help in setting up a training restaurant for underprivileged young people. Puttock returned to London, and helped Oliver set up the first
Fifteen restaurant in
Hoxton,
London. The creation of the restaurant and training scheme formed the basis of a 2002 TV series on
Channel 4,
Jamie's Kitchen. Puttock remained at Fifteen as executive head chef for several years, until homesickness prompted him to suggest to Oliver that they set up an Australian version of Fifteen in his hometown of Melbourne.
Oliver agreed, and in 2006, a follow-up series
Jamie’s Kitchen Australia was shown on Australia's
Network Ten, which chronicled the establishment of Fifteen Melbourne and the training of its staff. Puttock is now executive head chef of the Melbourne restaurant, and still makes appearances on
Ready Steady Cook.
Personal life
Puttock married his girlfriend of five years, Georgia Katz, on
7 April 2007.
He is the
godfather of Jamie Oliver's youngest daughter, Daisy Boo, born April 2003.
