Cahane is skilled and experienced in cooking classical French, modern European, creative Caribbean and traditional British foods.

“My love of the culinary world has also led me to endeavor to learn many global cuisines, and I am proficient in an eclectic range of modern and traditional food styles and techniques,” he said.
