Father and daughter chef duo James and Georgia Sommerin are so in sync that they can communicate with one another using only eye contact. So impressive is their serenity while working in the open kitchen of their family-run restaurant in Penarth, Wales – appropriately named Home – that people get “mesmerised” watching them, said James Sommerin, 43.

He describes his daughter, 23, as “my right hand”. “We don’t necessarily have to talk to each other,” he said. “It’s literally a look. She knows that I’ve got her back 110% and vice versa.”
