Shaun Rankin
Shaun Rankin’s personal take on classical cuisine has won him national acclaim. His cooking is imbued with exciting combinations and flavours and he’s always looking forward to the new season for the fresh produce that drives him. And fresh produce is something he’s not short of in Jersey, the island he describes as his own nine by five mile kitchen garden. Shaun has called Jersey his home for the past 16 years. It’s where he met his wife Cheryl and a place he says is ideal for bringing up his young son Ethan. With award winning beaches and open air and the chance to indulge his love of fishing he wouldn’t change it for the world but he never forgets his roots.Shaun was born in Yorkshire and it was growing up with his Mum in the kitchen at Ferryhill that gave him his love of cooking. At the age of 14 he knew he wanted to be a Chef. After catering college and 3 years in the south-east including time at The Mayfair in London he headed back up north to work at the Black Bull in Moulton. It was here he got his first taste of classical cooking. He also had a spell in the USA working at the world-famous Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago.
In 2003 he was asked to head up a brand new restaurant, Bohemia, which both he and the owners were determined to make the finest in the Channel Islands and renowned internationally. Shaun was fully involved in every aspect of the new venture from design of the kitchen and restaurant through to tableware and staffing. Just a year after opening in April 2004 Bohemia was awarded a Michelin Star and named one of the top 25 restaurants in the UK by Egon Ronay. Bohemia has retained its Michelin Star for six years and it’s 4AA Rosettes for 4 years since gaining the 4th Rosette in 2006. Shaun and his dedicated team have worked hard to earn their reputation and he says its being confident in what you do and adapting to the changing seasons that helps to keep the restaurant at the top.
