"Ian is the most naturally gifted chef I have ever worked with."
Andrew Fairlie, Andrew Fairlie's Restaurant Gleneagles.
ChefYesChef has evolved into Chefs.studio – a new name and cleaner domain that better reflect what we actually do: help professional chefs with the hard bit of the job, running kitchens. The stories, tools and straight talk are all still here, just in a better-fitting jacket. If you want the full story behind the change, you can read more in our rebrand post .
Chef Ian McAndrew’s career spans both traditional publishing and independent digital work. His established in-print recipe books are available to read online through CKBK, while his later eBooks, technical guides, and autobiography are published exclusively on ChefYesChef.
Ian McAndrew’s memoir, Just Call Me Chef, traces over five decades in professional kitchens, from a working-class childhood in County Durham to Michelin-starred success in London. With humour and honesty, he reveals the pressure, sacrifice, and joy behind a life spent cooking at the very top.
PRINTED EDITION
Ian McAndrew’s more recent writing is published independently on ChefYesChef. These eBooks and guides reflect his later thinking and experience, focusing less on recipes and more on judgement, systems, and how professional kitchens actually function. Written without compromise or external influence, they are practical, experience-led works intended for cooks who want clarity, control, and deeper understanding rather than trends or shortcuts.
