Hello & welcome back to Breaking Bread. This week we were delighted to be joined by Birmingham chef Mike Eaglesfield. We have an awesome, relaxed conversation all about his time on Masterchef & how he went about starting his own food business.

Cook With Floyd

For insurance worker Mike, food wasn’t always an obsession. In fact, it was a bet with his wife that ignited the fire. While watching legendary chef Keith Floyd on the TV Mike half-joked that Keith’s recipes were dated and simple.

On hearing this, Mike’s wife Antonia challenged him to cook Floyds top 100 recipes. By recipe three Mike Eaglesfield was hooked. Cooking became a passion and it wasn’t long until he was experimenting with his own recipes

Mike Eaglesfield Masterchef

In 2019 Mike loved cooking so much he decided to test his skills on one of the most popular cooking shows in the world, Masterchef. After a long & drawn-out application process, Mike made it to the televised round where he received very positive feedback from judges Gregg & John but was unlucky to have been in one of the tougher groups.

Although disappointed by what he now realises was more a reality show as much as it is a cooking competition, Mike was confident in his skills and the quality of his food. After doing a few dinner parties Mike along with wife Antonia decided to start their own private dining experience.

Canary & Kitchen brings restaurant quality food straight to you. Mike’s cooking style is heavily influenced by the multi-cultural city he is from, Birmingham. He is enthusiastic about exploring different cuisines and their ingredients.
