1970

Allegra Sarah Bazzett McEvedy MBE (born 23 November 1970) is an English chef, broadcaster and writer.

McEvedy was born and raised in Hammersmith.

Interviewed by The New York Times, she said, "Mine was all about what we’d had for breakfast and the great ice cream we had in Florence that afternoon."

Her father Colin McEvedy was a consultant psychiatrist, historian and writer; her mother was a writer.

She was privately educated at St Paul's Girls' School, attending the school at the same time as Daisy Garnett, later food columnist of The Observer.

McEvedy completed her classical French training in 1991 at the Cordon Bleu in London.

She also obtained the Higher Certificate from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.

She obtained her first Head Chef position at Tom Conran's restaurant The Cow, in Notting Hill, at the age of 24.

During a spell in the United States, facilitated by being awarded a special visa as 'an alien with extraordinary ability in the culinary arts', McEvedy worked at Rubicon and Jardinière in San Francisco, and ran the kitchen at Robert De Niro's New York City restaurant Tribeca Grill, regularly doing 500 covers a night.

Whilst in New York she catered for an exclusive Democratic Party fundraiser, personally cooking for President Clinton.
