Angela Hartnett MBE (born 1968 in Kent) is an Anglo-Welsh-Italian Chef. A protégé of Gordon Ramsay who was made famous by her appearances on British television, she was Chef-Patron at The Connaught in London.

Biography

Angela Hartnett was born in Kent, England to Patrick Hartnett, an Irish sailor in the Merchant Navy and Giuliana, a Welsh mother whose parents had migrated from Bardi, Emilia-Romagna, Italy to in Ferndale, Rhondda, Wales. Her father died of jaundice when she was eight years old so her mother moved the young family (older brother and younger sister) to Upminster Greater London to be closer to both sets of grandparents, where they were brought up by their Italian maternal grandmother whilst Guiliana worked long hours as a dinner lady and nanny. At 18 she went off Italy for a year to work as an au pair before graduating with a degree in History at the Cambridge Polytechnic.

Career

Starting relatively late in her chosen career path, she learnt on the job at a hotel in Cambridge, then at the Sandy Lane Hotel restaurant in Barbados.citeweb|url=http://uktv.co.uk/food/item/aid/577617|title=Angela Hartnett|publisher=UK TV Food|accessdate=2008-04-07]

In 1994, she returned to the UK, and undertook a one day trial at Gordon Ramsay's first restaurant "Aubergine." Alongside Marcus Wareing, she worked six days a week alongside Ramsay for longer than the two weeks Wareing predicted - Ramsay called her a bitch occasionally, alongside his favoured name for her: Dizzy Lizzy. She supported Ramsay at Zafferano and L'Oranger, then joining Wareing as his sous chef at Petrus. After launching Amaryllis in Scotland with David Dempsey in 2001, Hartnett helped with the launch of Gordon Ramsay's Verre in Dubai.

In 2003, Hartnett won the 'Best Newcomer Award' and the Square Meal Guides’ BMW Best New Restaurant award for the two restaurants at The Connaught Hotel.citeweb|url=http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/chefs/chef.asp?id=124|title=Angela hartnett|publisher=Lifestyle Food|accessdate=2008-04-07] In 2004 she netted her first Michelin star. In early 2007, she was awarded an MBE for Services to the Hospitality Industry.citeweb | url=http://www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2008/05/02/320654/angela-hartnett.html| title=Angela Hartnett profile | publisher=Caterersearch.com | accessdate=2008-05-30] Also in 2007 she opened Cielo, a Ramsay Group restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida.

Just before The Connaught Hotel closed in mid-2007, she published her first book "Cucina: Three Generations of Italian Family Cooking;" and while it was initially closed she was seen on BBC's "Kitchen Criminals" and "Take On The Takeaway." Gordon Ramsay Holdings Ltd agreed to cease their contract with The Connaught Hotel in September 2007, so on August 21st 2008 Hartnett will launch Murano, a fine-dining Italian restaurant in Mayfair.

Personal life

Hartnett is single, and lives in Spitalfields, London with her sister, in a house owned by Hartnett and her brother.
