Let the
food do the
talking
Meet Mohan Abraham who has
just joined the team at Beamish
Hall’s restaurant, The Stables.
What made you want to be a chef and
how long have you been doing it?
My cooking career started when I was a little
boy. My mother’s an amazing woman and
cooking for our big family was never easy
but I learnt a great deal from her.
Her passion and enthusiasm have definitely
inspired me and I’ve been a chef for 18 years
now.
What do you look for when you create
a new dish or menu? What’s your main
considerations?
I look anywhere and everywhere! Reading
industry publications, blogs, social media…
I’m always absorbing new ideas. I’ll discuss
ideas, trends, experiences and new ingredients
with my colleagues and our suppliers of
local produce.
What’s proving to be the most popular dish
on your menu this month and why do you
think that is?
Seafood and locally sourced Northumberland
meats are always a winner. Healthy options
are on the rise and we provide dishes which
are both healthy and nutritional. We collaborate
with local business so we can supply quality,
regional food and continue to support other
local business.
