DanielDaniel Mosedale was born in Hemel Hempstead, England. The love of food started at a very young age from numerous family trips to France.

At the age of 16, Daniel left school to begin his formal culinary training at Cassio College in Watford. Whilst at Cassio, Daniel won his first cooking competition against eight other schools in the London area. After graduation Daniel left England for France to experience what life in a kitchen was all about. Not speaking any French he was forced to pick it up very quickly.

The following ten years were spent working in some of the most inspirational kitchens in France. Two years in Lyon with Philippe Chavant at his One Michelin Star restaurant, La Tour Rose. Four years with Michel Bras, at his soon to become Three star restaurant in Laguiole. One year at L’auberge de L’ll in the Alsace with the Haeberlin family along with time in Toulouse, Paris and Beaune.

After a year in Australia they left for a world trip through Indonesia, Thailand, India, England, Scotland and eventually back to France to get married.

Returning to Australia, Daniel started work at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Sydney as Executive Sous Chef. After two and a half years Daniel was given the opportunity to transfer to Jamaica to be a part of an elite team to open their newest hotel in Rosehall, Montego Bay.
