There is
neither a student nor teacher in the last twenty-seven years who has not
heard the immortal words… ‘Chicken, pasta, chippies?’ But although thousands
of people visit Stafford House every year, Lubisa Niksic, who is more fondly
known throughout the world as ‘Chef’, is the one memory they never forget.
Popularity is a hard thing to measure but it is clear that Chef’s
ever-increasing collection of photographs, post cards, Christmas and
birthday cards, together with the plethora of certificates from students and
their parents endorsing his ‘Chicken, pasta and chippies’ catchphrase,
safely secure his place in the International Chef Hall of Fame.
When not cooking for up to seven hundred people, Croatian born Chef enjoys
listening to country music and collecting stamps and coins.
In a busy kitchen environment where he manages four staff and spends around
eight hours each day preparing and cooking food he says, ‘My favourite part
of the job has always been serving the students, as it gives me the chance
to chat to them and see how they are doing’. |
