Clive was born and bred in Cardiff, Wales, in the UK. He has been a professional chef for almost 20 years since he started as a trainee chef at a French restaurant whose master chef is an elite graduate of Cordon Bleu School in France. After having trained there for six years while studying at a local catering college, he went on to work at a few prestige restaurants in Cardiff and London to expand his vision and develop new styles of cooking. Clive has worked as a successful head chef (specializing in French-Mediterranean cuisine, with a touch of Eastern taste in several parts of UK).
