Marco Pierre White is a British chef and restaurateur whose career spans restaurant kitchens, books and television. His Providoor collection offers a way to explore his dishes at home, with current product details available in the Marco Pierre White range.

From Yorkshire kitchens to London

Marco began his training at the Hotel St George in Harrogate and the Box Tree in Ilkley before continuing his classical training at Le Gavroche in London. He later became head chef and joint owner of Harveys. These stages of his career are described in Marco’s official biography.

A milestone in his restaurant career

In 1995, aged 33, he achieved three Michelin stars at The Restaurant Marco Pierre White in London. He was the first British chef to reach that level and the youngest in the world at the time. He retired from the restaurant kitchen in 1999. His hospitality group’s biography records these milestones.

That Michelin recognition relates to his restaurant career. Michelin awards stars to restaurants for their cooking, as explained in the MICHELIN Guide’s introduction to its awards. Providoor offers prepared frozen dishes for customers to finish and serve at home.

White Heat and his cooking on the page

First published in 1990, White Heat combines recipes, personal writing and photographs by Bob Carlos Clarke. It offers a view of Marco’s kitchen alongside the food itself. Explore the book and its later editions on Marco’s official books page.

It appears that your voucher belongs to the old Providoor, which, unfortunately, is not us. :(

We understand how much the original Providoor meant to many Australians, especially during the challenging times of COVID. It provided a way to enjoy high-quality meals from beloved restaurants in the comfort of your home. We also understand that some of you may still hold vouchers from the previous iteration of Providoor, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

When the original Providoor, unfortunately, went into administration, we made the decision to purchase the brand because we recognised its significance to so many Australians. Providoor was more than just a business; it was a source of comfort, connection, and joy during tough times. However, while we have revived and rebranded Providoor to focus on delivering gourmet frozen meals from celebrity chefs, we are a completely new company with a different business model and operations.

This means that we do not have any obligation to honour the vouchers issued by the previous company, as those financial liabilities were not transferred to us during the acquisition. We know this may be disappointing news, but please understand that we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our valued customers.

Thank you again for your understanding and for being a part of Providoor’s journey. We are committed to providing you with the highest quality gourmet experiences, and we look forward to serving you in the future.

Warm regards,
The Providoor Team
