Chef of the Week

The Chefs’ Forum ‘Chef of the Week’ is a badge of honour to be worn with pride.

It recognises generous contribution to the industry and positive role models for the next generation.  It is a great opportunity for chefs to share their career story, favourite ingredients, culinary influences and mention anyone significant who has sparked their interest in cooking!
