Our guest today is Breakthrough Chef of the Year, Ben Murphy. Here, Ben chats about how his dreams of becoming a footballer were crushed when he broke his collarbone, and how the accident led him into working in a kitchen. Here, he delves into his time working at The Berkeley with world-renowned chef, Pierre Koffmann and shares his experiences of working in the South of France, why he feels lucky doing something he loves and lots more.
