Jesse, known online as ADIP has taken the food world by storm with his cinematic cooking videos which have been wracking up millions of views. Despite only starting his social media last year he has already amassed several hundreds of thousands of avid fans and followers.

Jesse grew up in LA combining working in a professional kitchen with life as a sponsored skateboarder. He then came to the UK and spent a very successful decade working as a fashion photographer and director, shooting campaigns for the likes of Marc Jacobs and Victoria Beckham.

But it was always food that was his true passion. Inspired by the people he has cooked for and alongside over the years, his food is in his own words, “fresh, fast and a bit filthy, with a laid-back American vibe - perfect for sharing”. His videos too, have echoes of his former life on a skateboard.

He now works as a chef alongside Jackson Boxer at his restaurant and In addition he has his own very successful series supperclubs at Carousel London, so it truly is a very exciting time to be sitting down and talking to him.
