Nick Nairn, born (January 12, 1959) in Stirling, Scotland is a celebrity chef.
Nairn has been a regular chef on BBC's popular Ready Steady Cook since the first series in 1994 and in 1990, he became the youngest chef to win a Michelin star in Scotland. A self-taught chef, his determination to master the culinary arts resulted in the creation of two successful restaurants - Braeval near Aberfoyle and the other in Glasgow, called Nairn's.
He has presented three BBC cookery series, all with accompanying books. In 2003, he sold his restaurant in Glasgow to concentrate on Nairn's Cookery School and a catering business and to spend more time with his family. He recently defeated Tom Lewis in the Scottish heat of the BBC television series Great British Menu.[1]. After beating his friend in the business, he went on to cook a main course of Roe venison for Queen Elizabeth II and 250 guests at the Mansion House for her official 80'th birthday celebration.[2]. In June 2007 he became the main presenter on the BBC Scotland programme Landward [3].
