In 2024, Kate made history on BBC Two’s Great British Menu — the first woman in the programme’s nineteen-year history to win the main course.

Her career spans some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens. At twenty-five she became the youngest female head chef of a two Michelin-starred restaurant anywhere in the world, leading Copenhagen’s Restaurant AOC. She went on to work as sous chef at Sweden’s three Michelin-starred Restaurant Frantzén, before joining Gordon Ramsay as Senior Development Chef.

Kate now runs Austen Events, a chef-led luxury events company, and appears regularly on television. She is a vocal advocate for women in the food industry.
