Ian Brunsdon Biography – Ian Brunsdon Wiki
Ian Brunsdon is a chef and contestant on MasterChef: The Professionals 2024. He has been a chef for over 15 years. He is currently a chef at 64 Degrees Brighton, an award-winning open kitchen restaurant by Great British Menu Winner Michael Bremner.
Ian went straight from school to Crawley Community College, where he completed his NVQ Level 3 in Professional Cookery. While studying, he was a kitchen porter at The Dorset Arms in Withyham. He then went on to work as a chalet chef in France before moving to Australia where he worked at Aqua Blu and The Blue Monkey in Nelson Bay, New South Wales, Australia.
In 2015, he moved back to the UK, where he worked at the then AA 2-Rosette, Jeremy’s Restaurant. In 2019 he became Head Chef at Bolney Wine Estate. He is currently a chef at 64 Degrees, an award winning unique open-kitchen restaurant tucked away in the Brighton Lanes, serving innovative small plates and exciting wines.
Ian was inspired to become a chef after he made something from scratch and tasted it. He told the BBC: “I grew up with a food phobia. I’d physically gag and be repulsed by textures – pretty much anything but toast. When I started as a kitchen porter in a pub at 14 and saw the hustle and bustle I instantly loved it and wanted to know more.
As soon as I got involved in some simple prep and cooking, that was it. I remember the first time I made something from scratch and tasted it, it just made me want to experience more. I felt I’d been missing out on all these flavours and knew from that moment I wanted to be a chef.”
