The master in his new domain: Nick Wilson in Moyles restaurant and in action in the kitchen
Chefs who have won coveted Michelin stars are as rare as truffles.
But one of them, Nick Wilson has recently been appointed head chef at Moyles hotel and restaurant, and his mission is to take its food to new heights, transforming the restaurant into one of Yorkshire's finest.

Nick, 35, began his career in 1990 at Scotland's famous golfing hotel Gleneagles before transferring to the Sharrow Bay Hotel in Lake District, another top-class establishent.
From there he joined the team at London's iconic Four Seasons Hotel in 1993, which had one Michelin star and five AA Rosettes.
It was there Nick, who is originally from Worksop, met the notorious Novelli, star of ITV1's Hell's Kitchen, who took up the role of head chef.
They worked together for seven years as Novelli took his protege with him as his sous chef when he opened Maison Novelli in Farringdon, London, in 1996.
Later Nick took control at Novelli W8 in Notting Hill and was then head chef at Les Saveurs.

After leaving his mentor behind in around 2000, Nick worked as a chef consultant for catering and events management company Rhubarb.
