Synopsis
John Burton Race was born in Singapore in 1957. The son of a British diplomat, and he spent his formative years travelling the globe, experiencing a multitude of cuisines. His family settled in Hampshire and his journey to create the most beautiful food began there, and encompassed sous chef at Les Manoir Quat' Saisons, Oxford and Head Chef and Manager of Le Petit Blanc, Oxford. In 1986, John Burton Race opened a restaurant of his own -- L'Ortolan in Berkshire, gaining and maintaining two Michelin stars from 1986 until 2000. John opened John Burton Race at The Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, London in 2000, and reclaimed not one, but two, Michelin stars within the first year of trading. In 2002, leaving their life in London behind, John, his wife Kim and family of six children set off for southern France embarking on a new life of personal discovery.
