MOHAMED FARIS
MOHAMED My 25-year career as a chef has taken me around the world. I started out in Paris studying International Cuisine before going on to live and work in Vienna, Austria and Kiev, Ukraine. After that, I moved to New York and worked at the Rainforest Cafe. When the company opened a restaurant in London, I relocated once again for the role of Executive Head Chef. During my time in the capital, I have also studied Hotel and Catering Management & Cooking at Westminster College and was very privileged to work in the city during the exciting event of the 2012 Olympics.
When I came to PROMIS in 2014, I saw a wonderful opportunity to apply my knowledge of nutrition to create balanced meals which are associated with improved mental health. We avoid white flour and sugar, steering our guests towards healthier options such as gluten-free/brown rice and pasta. I’m proud to say that we source our ingredients daily and avoid freezing our food to ensure everything is as fresh as possible.
Aside from doing what I love, another rewarding aspect of the role at the clinic is the chance to form connections with our guests and develop an understanding of their situation.
