Early lifeAikens was born in London, England in 1970, into a family of wine merchants.[1] The family had a converted barn in the Auvergne region of France[2] and travelled around France where he was exposed to fine regional cuisine. Professional careerWith a father and grandfather in the wine industry, Aikens discovered French gastronomy and the central importance of food in his life. To develop his cooking skills, Aikens enrolled at the Norwich City College Hotel School. His first job after he left college was at Michelin starred, David Cavalier’s restaurant in Battersea, London. He then worked at Pierre Koffman’s La Tante Claire in Chelsea, London, which gained a third Michelin star during his time there. He also worked with Philip Britten at the Capital Hotel and as a sous chef at Pied à Terre in Charlotte Street, under Richard Neat. In Paris, he worked with Joël Robuchon, and Gerard Boyer at Reims. Aikens returned to the UK as Head Chef of Pied à Terre, where, at 26, he became the youngest British chef ever awarded two Michelin stars. Here he stayed for five years until he was fired for branding the hand of a trainee employee with a hot palette knife.[3] In 2003, Aikens opened his own, eponymous restaurant in Chelsea; "Tom Aikens Restaurant." On 12 January 2012, the Chelsea restaurant re-opened following extensive renovations. In January 2014, it relocated to a more central London location. Aikens' second restaurant, the brasserie-style "Tom’s Kitchen", opened in Chelsea in 2006. In 2008 Aikens also opened the ill-fated "Tom's Place" which closed six months later, creating financial problems for his restaurant group. Aiken sold his remaining two restaurants to TA Holdco Ltd after putting them into administration in late 2008, leaving many suppliers out of pocket,[4] a transaction that the Fair Trading Commission launched an investigation into.[5] In conjunction with Compass Group, Aikens also launched "Tom’s Terrace", "Tom’s Deli" and a second "Tom’s Kitchen" site at Somerset House in September 2009. In June 2013 he opened a 130-seater restaurant in Canary Wharf in the modern British Brasserie-style.[6] Aikens has several "Tom's Kitchen" restaurants (four at locations across London, including Cale Street in Chelsea round the corner from his original restaurant, one in Birmingham and one in Istanbul)[7] and three top class restaurants worldwide.[8] Aikens has written three books; Cooking (2006), Fish (2008), and Easy (2011), and has collaborated with designer David Linley on a range of kitchenware. Television careerAikens was one of the four Iron Chefs in Iron Chef UK on Channel 4 television. He has appeared on Market Kitchen on UK Good Food Channel as well as on Great British Menu in 2011 and 2013.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} Aikens also appeared in a few episodes of the programme Great Chefs Of The World. Personal lifeAikens married business partner Laura Vänninen in 1997, but the marriage broke down in 2004, a year after they opened their first Chelsea restaurant Tom Aikens. In June 2007, he married publicist and former chef Amber Nuttall, third daughter of Sir Nicholas Nuttall, Bt.. The two separated in November 2010. He has two children with his partner Justine Dobbs-Higginson, a former investment banker. Bibliography
