Thomas William Kitchin[1] is a Scottish chef and owner of The Kitchin, where he became Scotland's youngest winner of a Michelin star.
Kitchin and his wife Michaela opened The Kitchin in 2006 on Leith’s waterfront. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2007, just six months after opening, making Kitchin Scotland’s youngest Michelin star chef proprietor at 29 years old. The restaurant has retained its Michelin star and has been recognised with other awards and accolades. In 2015, The Kitchin became Scotland’s only restaurant to hold 5 AA Rosettes.
Kitchin trained in some of Europe's leading kitchens, including La Tante Claire in London under Pierre Koffmann, and Guy Savoy in Paris, as well as Le Louis XV in Monaco, led by Alain Ducasse.
