About Oska Ready
Me, Myself & I
Welcome to the culinary world of Chef Oska Ready, where passion, dedication, and creativity come together to create unforgettable dining experiences. My journey in the culinary arts began at the tender age of 15, sparked by a part-time position as a commis chef in Chesterfield. This early start ignited a lifelong commitment to perfecting my craft and exploring the endless possibilities within the culinary world.
My initial foray into the kitchen was more than just a job; it was a hands-on education in the fundamentals of cooking. I learned the importance of precision, teamwork, and the sheer joy of creating something delightful from basic ingredients. After completing high school, I knew that formal culinary education was the next step in pursuing my dream.
I enrolled in culinary college, where I spent two years honing my skills. However, it was during my third year at Doncaster College that my culinary talents truly began to shine. I was awarded the Chef of the Year title, which fuelled my ambition.
The year at Doncaster college was a pivotal moment, providing me the confidence and credibility to enter the WorldSkills Competition, a global platform for young professionals. Eighteen months of intense preparation and competing later, it was an immense honour to be selected as the national representative for the UK at WorldSkills Lyon 2024.
This global competition will allow me to showcase my abilities on an international stage and compete with some of the world’s most talented young chefs.
A significant influence on my journey has been my Head Chef, Marcus Ashton Simpson, a renowned chef known for his culinary prowess.
Over four transformative years, Marcus guided me from a commis chef & junior sous chef, instilling in me the value of perseverance, creativity, and attention to detail.
My mentors are my bosses Sarah Wilson & Martyn Pippard their support, commitment, drive and passion has been instrumental in shaping my career.
