“Tonight is for you, our partners, customers and friends @valrhona . In the midst of busy services, we often forget that Chocolate begins in Nature” At Chef Publishing, it is never lost on us how incredible our #mediapartners are. Working closely with them, whether that is through the magazines, introducing new clients, supporting them with live events or simply chatting through ideas, we work on a fully collaborative partnership. Joining @valrhona last night at their incredible celebrations fills us with pride to partner with such a creative, energetic and passionate company. The setting @kewgardens was a real reminder that chocolate begins with Mother Nature and ends with the finest pastry chef creations - and that Valrhona play a role in every step of the journey. Wonderful speeches from @vania_mychocolatelife @circlewongsiuyuen and a host of speakers. Delicious food, cocktails and, of course, chocolate! Congratulations Team Valrhona - an extraordinary, wonderful evening! @thepastrysection #valrhona #chefandrestaurantmagazine #chefpublishing #thepastrysection

The Craft Guild of Chefs has announced the semi-finalists for Young National Chef of the Year, with chefs set to compete in live cook-offs in both London and Sheffield for the first time since before the pandemic. This marks a significant moment for the competition, as the return to live semi-finals gives rising culinary talent the opportunity to cook in front of some of the industry’s most respected chefs. A new brief for the semi-final stage has been created by newly appointed Chair of Judges, Tom Shepherd, challenging competitors to showcase their own ideas and technical skill as they compete for a place in the grand final this October. The semi-final will comprise a series of challenges starting with a skills test, where they have 30 minutes to butcher a whole Gressingham Duck for use in the main course. They will then prepare, cook, and present a duck main course for two guests suitably garnished using one or more products from Lee Kum Kee. The final stage is for the chefs to create a pre-dessert as a refreshing transition between the savoury main course and the final dessert. Semi-finalists are advised to consider savoury and sweet elements to provide balance, lightness, and control, with a focus on flavour, texture and visual impact. The full story and list of semi-finalists can be found on our website or via link in bio. @cheftomshepherd @craftguildofchefs @davidmulcahy1 @keiracarolan1

“Breathtaking is a word we throw around with ease. But I had not truly considered the meaning of the word until I found myself not breathing as I navigated my way through Snowdonia National Park - on my way to visit @lukeselbychef Chef Partner of @palehallhotel With beyond dramatic landscapes and a sheer drop of several hundred feet to the left of my car, the journey becomes more beautifully astonishing with every mile. And if the prospect of plunging your car down a mountainside wasn’t enough to make you gasp for air - the sheer beauty of the Pale Hall Estate is” @claire_inthecommunity spends a day with Luke Selby. We chat about his professional journey, his vision for this incredible estate, his role as Chef Partner, winning the triple threat of competitions including @roux_scholarship @craftguildofchefs Young and National Chef of the Year, his experiences cooking in Japan and building an incredible leadership team to join him in North Wales 🔥 #chefandrestaurantmagazine #mayedition #lukeselby @michelinguide @goodfoodguideuk @aa_hospitality @liamskel @edmarsh @maemarsh13 @grach.ova @ethancleary22 @emanuelnicolaeneagu @kristasuda @johnrowlands75 @alex__.s @_chef_adambeaumont #joshuamullock #ninaarmstrong

“The story needs to be told. Because cooking great food doesn’t mean you need millions of pounds of investment. Only a tiny percentage of chefs will get that, anyway. You can cook amazing food from your own tiny micro restaurant - and chefs need to know this. This is the most achievable way they can run their own businesses, and really shape U.K. gastronomy” @petersancheziglesias @gwenrestaurant It was a Friday afternoon when I saw that I had multiple missed calls from Gareth Ward. I needed to get to Machynlleth asap. Gwen, the sister restaurant to @ynyshirrestaurant was about to make the biggest announcement in its three year history 🔥🔥🔥 “I missed Casamia so much, from the very first day I closed it. I felt it in my core - this ache that something special had gone. At Gwen, I now have everything I ever wanted back” Gareth, Peter & @claire_inthecommunity chat friendships, family, support and the rise of these super personal, tiny gastronomic hotspots, “ @restaurantdaise @firbymattsampson @ohare.michael with Inlamentation, just a handful of examples. Yes, a micro restaurant is a lot of work. If you’re a chef who prefers to be out and about, it won’t work for you. But, the way I see it is this. If you go to work in the morning and your team don’t turn up, can you still run your business? If the answers no, it’s too big” #garethward OPENING 3rd June 🔥🔥🔥 Weds-Saturday dinner from 6pm - get booking! #chefandrestaurantmagazine #mayedition #garethandpeter #microrestaurant @michelinguide @aa_hospitality @goodfoodguideuk @visitwales @cheftonyparkin @chefmattsampson

“I want people to feel better in leaving than when they were arriving. I want them to appreciate - even if they don’t notice them all - the thousand small things we do to make them feel good” @adambyatt on the opening of @rosina.restaurant in Wandsworth this summer. Congratulations Chef - we can’t wait to visit! 🔥 #adambyatt #rosinarestaurant #wandsworh #newopening

Last week, in collaboration with @chefpublishing , we brought together some of the UK’s leading chefs and foodservice professionals at Michelin starred @frogbyah by @Adamhandling , for a celebration of premium Australian produce. Adam and his team delivered an exceptional menu that showcased both creativity and craftsmanship, including indulgent snacks of beef & oyster caviar and ‘meat tea.’ A beautifully balanced starter of lamb with black garlic and parsley highlighted depth, followed by a standout main of premium Australian beef, morel and truffle. The experience concluded with a rich beef fat chocolate bon bon. The lunch sparked meaningful conversation around the sustainability, quality and versatility of Australian beef and lamb, and how seamlessly they translate onto world-class fine dining menus. * * * * * #AussieBeef #AussieLamb #aussiebeefandlamb #sustainablefarming aussiewagyu
