Anna Haugh

CHEF, TV PRESENTER AND AUTHOR

Chef and presenter, Anna Haugh is the chef patron of Myrtle Restaurant and The Wee Sister Wine Bar in Chelsea, London. She started professionally cooking at Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin. Anna’s apprenticeship took place at L’Ecrivain in Dublin and she went on to work in Paris for Gualtiero Marchesi.

When Anna first moved to London she worked at Pied à Terre under Shane Osborne, then at The Square under Philip Howard. She was a director of foods and head chef for Rocket Food before becoming head chef at London House for Gordon Ramsey. Anna opened Myrtle in 2019. One of her ambitions was to introduce the people of London to a sophisticated taste of Ireland - Irish produce is the heartbeat of the menu.

Anna’s debut cookbook Cooking with Anna: Modern Home Cooking with Irish Heart was released in May 2024.

Anna’s broadcasting career to date includes three series of Royal Recipes and Ready Steady Cook, both for the BBC. Anna is the resident chef on Morning Live and a regular chef on Saturday Kitchen and Sunday Brunch. In late 2022, Anna was announced as the new Masterchef: The Professionals judge. This year Anna filmed her debut own series for the BBC, due to air on the BBC and BBC Northern Ireland in early 2025.
