About Chef John
Chef John (Keattisak Engchuan) was born in Krabi province on the 10th of April 1972. He has two brothers and one sister. He completed his high school education in his home town and moved to Phuket in 1990 to pursue a career in the hotel business. At first he did not have a plan to become a chef, although he enjoyed cooking and several of his first jobs were as an assistant in the kitchen where he slowly learned his cooking skills from his employers. Over the last 20 years Chef John has worked in a variety of different locations and with a variety of cuisines. His passion for using fresh ingredients and local produce has helped him to develop a style which is neither pretentious nor complicated. Working with chefs from many different schools, Chef John has learnt to keep it simple, with a focus on quality and traditional Italian recipes, rather than trying to develop new dishes which may not represent the true taste of Italy. Chef John is now the executive chef of the Italian restaurant DaVinci in Nai Harn, which is fast becoming the place to eat on the south of the island.
