Biography |
Curtis P. Stone (born November 4, 1975, Melbourne,
Australia) is a chef and television personality.
Curtis was studying for Bachelor of Business before deciding
his heart was in food. He worked at some top Australian
restaurants before heading to London to work various
restaurants there. In Australia, he debuted his cooking
career at the tender age of 18 at the Savoy Hotel. On
completing his qualifications as a chef, Curtis set off for
Europe to experience life and the cuisines of Italy, France
and Spain, before finally arriving in London. When he
arrived in London, he started cooking alongside the renowned
Marco Pierre White, the author of the cookbook "White Heat",
at The Café Royal and Mirabelle. He went on to become head
chef at Marco's Quo Vadis, receiving critical acclaim before
moving to the exclusive Restaurant 301.

show/travelogue Surfing the Menu (on ABC TV) with another
chef, Ben O'Donoghue. A second series of the show ran for
longer than the first and was more successful.
No stranger to television, Curtis has appeared in a number
of cooking programs in the UK, including Dinner in a Box,
Good Food Live and Saturday Kitchen. He also hosted the
first series of My Restaurant Rules; however, he was
replaced by Ian Dickson for the second series. Stone can
