Our Kitchen Grows: more chefs join Slow Food UK’s Chef Alliance

We are pleased to announce the addition of some wonderful chefs to Slow Food UK's Chef Alliance project: Michel Roux Jr. of Le Gavroche, Colin McGurran of Winteringham Fields, John Pratt of the Traddock, Richard Walton-Allen of Create and Raymond Blanc of Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons.

These chefs are joining a list of fine chefs who work around the country, including Richard Corrigan, our Chef Alliance Spokesperson.

Slow Food UK has partnered with Highland Park to recognise chefs who share our belief that food should be produced ethically and sustainably, and who also promote local British produce, including forgotten foods on our Ark of Taste. For example, watercress grown in Hampshire is one of our featured Ark products, and Raymond Blanc has a delicious recipe on his website for watercress soup. Colin McGurran’s recipe for Lincolnshire haslet beignets, rhubarb purée and sage foam uses rhubarb, which is currently in season, particularly Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb.

You can view the profiles of our Chef Alliance chefs on this page. We’re looking forward to our next Chef Alliance launch in Edinburgh, which will be happening on the 6th of February.
