Anna Haugh

Anna Haugh will be cooking live on the Summer Kitchen on Thursday 13 June at the Good Food Show Summer 2024.

Anna Haugh is the chef patron of Myrtle Restaurant in Chelsea, London. She started professionally cooking at Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin, almost 20 years ago. Anna’s apprenticeship took place at L’Ecrivian in Dublin and she went on to work in Paris for Gualtiero Marchesi.

When Anna first moved to London she worked at Pied a terre under Shane Osborne, then at The Square under Philip Howard.

She was a director of foods and head chef for Rocket Food before becoming head chef at London House for Gordon Ramsay. Anna opened Myrtle in 2019. One of her ambitions was to introduce the people of London to a sophisticated taste of Ireland. The restaurant uses Irish produce, which is the heartbeat of the menu.

Anna’s broadcasting career to date includes three series of Royal Recipes; one of the main chefs on BBC’s Ready Steady Cook and she is a regular on Saturday Kitchen and Sunday Brunch.

Anna is a regular chef on Morning Live and Saturday Kitchen for the BBC and has appeared on If These Meals Could Talk. In late 2022, Anna was announced as the new Masterchef: The Professionals judge alongside Marcus Wareing and Greg Wallace.
