__NOTOC__ Matt Dowling (born in Crumlin, Dublin, 1945) is an Irish head chef. He was leading the kitchen brigade of the Michelin-starred The Russell Hotel in Dublin, County Dublin, when it earned his star in 1974.〔(Michelin Online Republic of Ireland )〕〔(Pierre Rolland: Ireland's First Michelin Star Chef ). Mac Con Iomaire, M. (2004). Pierre Rolland: Ireland's First Michelin Star Chef. Hotel and Catering Review. Vol. 37, No. 12, p.45.〕 Dowling started his career as a 14-year-old boy, in 1960, as a kitchen hand in The Russell Hotel.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 248〕 After six months, he started his formal training and worked his way through the different parts of the kitchen. In 1965, he became a full chef.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 251〕 He was head chef in 1974 when The Russel Hotel earned his Michelin star, just before it closed.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 2, p. 289〕 After the closure of The Russel Hotel, Dowling moved to the "Sachs Hotel". He worked there for four years as head chef, until that hotel closed too.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 260〕 From there he went to Leinster House as a head chef. In 1980, Dowling left there to take up a position at a training school of CERT (now Failte Ireland).〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 261/262〕〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 267. Interview was in 2004.〕 Around 1978, he took part in the "advanced cookery courses for senior chefs" from Jimmy Kilbride to modernise his skills and theoretical knowledge.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 264〕 In a later stage, Dowling was invited to do some television work. It turned out to become much more and he took part in TV-series as ''Ready Steady Cook'' and ''Live at 3''. Dowling used those shows for the courses he was giving. Trainees would often help him with research and preparations, which served as a huge moral booster for the trainees.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 266〕 In 1978, he joined the Panel of Chefs Ireland, an organization aiming to improve chef standards and to promote Irish food by taking part in (international) competitions.〔Iomaire Mac Con. Volume 3, p. 267.〕〔(Panel of Chefs of Ireland Ltd. )〕 As part of his job at Failte Ireland, Dowling often acts as judge in cooking competitions, like the Rotary Club Young Chef Competition.〔(Budding chef Joel cooks up a storm in competition )〕 Dowling was, as commis chef, involved in the state dinner for US president Kennedy during his visit to Ireland in 1963.〔Iomaire Mac Con.
