Profile

Paul Rankin runs the neighbourhood restaurant Cayenne in Belfast. Previously he ran the very successful Roscoff, which was voted Restaurant of the Year in the BBC Good Food Magazine's 1996 Awards and where he was awarded Ireland’s first Michelin star.

Biography

Paul is best known for being one of the longest standing and most successful chefs on Ready Steady Cook on BBC 2, which regularly pulls in viewers of nearly 3 million. Recently, Paul has appeared on Step up to the Plate (BBC 1), Local Food Heroes (UKTV) and Saturday Kitchen (BBC 1). 2009 has seen Paul as busy as ever with appearances on Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (BBC 2), Market Kitchen (UKTV) and Local Food Hereos (UKTV).

Previously, Paul has appeared on Celebrity X Factor (ITV 1), as one ‘The Chefs’. The group were so popular that they made it to the final stages of the competition. In 2005 he was asked to overhaul the menus at a Belfast Care Home for the elderly and his enthusiasm for this cause has led to him addressing conferences and events for care industry professionals and this in turn triggered a Tonight with Trevor McDonald special programme on the subject for ITV 1 in which Paul was heavily featured. 

When not busy in his restaurants and with his television commitments, Paul is furiously writing recipes. He has published several books including Gourmet Ireland (BBC Books), Gourmet Ireland 2 (BBC Books), Ideal Home Cooking (Boxtree), Dublin Dining (Black & White Publishing) and New Irish Cookery (BBC Books).

Paul has been appointed International Ambassador for Bushmills Whiskey and regularly does consultancy work for Sodexo. He has his own range of phenomenally successful Irish breads with Irwins Bakery available in major supermarkets throughout the UK and is expanding the range all the time.

Paul has had several of his own series including 1994’s BBC 1 TV series Gourmet Ireland - showcasing the best of Irish ingredients plus their own distinctive cookery talents and The Rankin Challenge which won two coveted Glenfiddich awards. Gourmet Ireland was transmitted on the Public Broadcasting Service in the USA and the accompanying book was published by KQED (USA). The series has also been sold to SBS in Australia, TVB in Hong Kong, TVNZ Pacific and TV2 in New Zealand, and to CBET Windsor in Canada.
