That turned into hosting supper clubs, to show people in her community the diversity of Nigerian food. She was ready to share her vision further but didn’t know how to set up a restaurant, and wasn’t sure her food would be welcome. A friend said she must start believing in herself, and then came the final ultimatum. “She said, ‘If you don’t do anything by the end of the year, I won’t be your friend any more,’” laughs Bakare.

Lars Williams, who was drafted to Noma from Heston Blumenthal’s test kitchen in 2009, moved to the houseboat in 2010 to run the Nordic Food Lab for two years. “We’d be as scientific as chefs could be,” Williams said. “We’d try the same idea 30 different times, with 30 different incremental variations, and record it all to assure we’d been rigorous.” Much like the restaurant, the lab operated with solely Nordic produce, but did its best to stretch that definition: “Things from the Faroe Islands were fair game, things from Northern Norway were fair game – we didn’t just operate around a kilometre’s radius around Copenhagen.”

Set up a barbecue and wait for the coals to glow white. Push some of the coals aside from the area you’re cooking the lamb, leaving some behind. We want a flat, even layer of charcoal – this gives more control and it’s less likely to go up in flames. We don’t want to cook the lamb too hard and fast; we want it to slowly hiss and render, and the fat drips to create clouds of smoke. It’s vital to keep your eye on the meat and turn it consistently. Turn the meat every 2-3 minutes so it cooks evenly. Cook until it has an internal temperature of 48C. Allow the lamb to rest for at least 10 minutes, when the temperature will climb to about 52-54C, giving nice juicy glistening pieces of lamb.

There are a few reasons why an interviewer might ask this question. They could be trying to get to know the head chef on a personal level, or they might be trying to gauge how passionate the head chef is about their work. Either way, it's important for the head chef to be able to articulate why they decided to pursue a career in this field. This question can also be a good opportunity to talk about any mentors or role models the head chef has had in their career.
