Welcome to Olympian Kitchen …
Subscribe to get the newsletter sent straight to your inbox every other Friday.
I’m Nicola, an olympian and a chef, based in Alicante Spain. You might know me as a judoka. In 1992 I won an Olympic silver medal. Now, I’ve turned my hand to cooking, and this newsletter is about improving and developing cooking skills.
Here the idea is to
✦ understand the science. what’s going on when we cook?
✦ give you the confidence, so you can cook without recipes.
✦ eat healthy food. mainly mediterranean. discover new ingredients from Spanish piquillo peppers to making paella.
✦ give you fast recipes, so you can bang out a nutritious, tasty meal quickly.

I’ll also share my experience of being put under pressure during a 100-Day in Spanish Michelin star restaurants and how I got along and what I learnt.

More about me. I’m Nicola Fairbrother. I’m a London Leiths trained chef and have had tons of fun doing a 100 day chef-stage in Spanish Michelin kitchens, being taught by chefs Andoni Aduriz, Maria Jose San Roman, Pablo Montoro, Susi Diaz and Federico Pian. Before cooking, I competed for Great Britain winning an Olympic silver medallist, a World Title, and in 1994 awarded a MBE by HM The Queen.
