World’s Top Chefs Coming to Wales Next Year for Prestigious Event

World’s Top Chefs Coming to Wales Next Year for Prestigious Event

from the Culinary Association of Wales

Immediate: November 5, 2020 – Wales will welcome the world’s best chefs next year as the country hosts the prestigious Worldchefs Global Chefs Challenge Final 2020.

The Culinary Association of Wales (CAW) and its partners, the International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales), the Celtic Manor Resort and the Welsh Government, have accepted an invitation to bring the event to Newport from October 23-26, 2021.

The only major Worldchefs competition in 2021, the event will bring together the world’s top chefs to compete in the finals of three categories: the Global Chefs Challenge, the Global Pastry Chefs Challenge and the Global Young Chefs Challenge.

The Global Chefs Challenge and Worldchefs Village will be combined at the Celtic Manor Resort where the organisers hope to provide a platform for Welsh food and drink business to showcase their products to chefs from around the globe.

To add extra interest for Wales, Danny Burke, coach to the Junior Culinary Team Wales and ex-senior team captain, will be competing in the Global Chefs Challenge against 19 other finalists. Danny, who lives in Connah’s Quay and co-owns Olive Tree Catering in Runcorn, qualified for the final by winning the Northern Europe heat.

The CAW and the Celtic Manor Resort has a successful track record of holding Worldchefs’ events. In 2017, the country hosted a successful Worldchefs European Congress and, last summer, welcomed a Worldchefs board meeting.

CAW president Arwyn Watkins, OBE, managing director of Welshpool-based Cambrian Training Company, said: “Hosting a global event of this magnitude in Wales is a huge honour and undertaking, but the Culinary Association of Wales and its partners relish the challenge of welcoming the world’s best chefs next autumn. Preparations have already begun.

“We are very aware of the scale and significance of securing this prestigious event, which will be the only major Worldchefs event in 2021 and should therefore attract worldwide interest in Wales.

“The Global Chefs Challenge will provide a fantastic showcase of culinary skills and everything that Wales has to offer. Against the current backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, this announcement should be welcome news for the hospitality industry. Hopefully, the event will support the steps being taken to help Wales bounce back from the economic impact of this pandemic.”

Ian Edwards, chief executive of ICC Wales and Celtic Manor Resort, said: “We are delighted to bring this prestigious international event to our venues in 2021. Following the recent announcement that ICC Wales will play host to next year’s Conservative Spring Conference, this is another welcome boost as we look forward to bouncing back from what has been a devastating year for the events industry.

“Our culinary philosophy is a big part of what we do at ICC Wales and hosting this prestigious event would be a brilliant opportunity to showcase Wales’ wealth of produce as well as our growing food and drink industry to an international audience.”

Lesley Griffiths, Wales’ Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, said: “Whilst we face the continued backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is, of course, very pleasing to see that the Celtic Manor Resort is due to hold the Worldchefs Global Chefs Challenge in 2021. I am pleased that organisations planning ahead for events next year are looking at Wales as a destination.”

Worldchefs is a global network of 105 chefs’ associations representing more than 10 million professional chefs worldwide.

Thomas Gugler, Worldchefs’ president, announced that Wales would be invited to host the Global Chefs Challenge after the country lost to Singapore by just four votes in online ballot in August to select the host country for the Worldchefs Congress and Expo 2024.

Chefs gorau’r byd yn dod i ddigwyddiad mawreddog yng Nghymru

Cymdeithas Goginio Cymru

Ar Unwaith: Tachwedd 5, 2020 – Bydd Cymru’n croesawu chefs gorau’r byd y flwyddyn nesaf wrth gynnal Her Fyd-eang Chefs Worldchefs.

Mae Cymdeithas Goginio Cymru (CAW) a’i phartneriaid, Canolfan Gynadledda Ryngwladol Cymru (ICC Cymru), Gwesty Hamdden y Celtic Manor a Llywodraeth Cymru. wedi derbyn gwahoddiad i groesawu’r digwyddiad i Gasnewydd ar Hydref 23-26,2021.

Hon fydd unig gystadleuaeth fawr Worldchefs yn 2021 a bydd yn dwyn ynghyd chefs gorau’r byd i gystadlu yn rowndiau terfynol tri chategori: Her Fyd-eang y Chefs, Her Fyd-eang y Pâtissiers a Her Fyd-eang y Chefs Ifanc.

Daw Her Fyd-eang y Chefs a Phentref Worldchefs ynghyd yng Ngwesty Hamdden y Celtic Manor lle mae’r trefnwyr yn gobeithio cynnig llwyfan i fusnesau bwyd a diod o Gymru i arddangos eu cynnyrch i chefs o bedwar ban y byd.

Bydd elfen Gymreig i’r gystadleuaeth gan fod Danny Burke, hyfforddwr Tîm Coginio Ieuenctid Cymru a chyn-gapten y tîm hŷn, yn cystadlu yn Her Fyd-eang y Chefs yn erbyn 19 o bobl eraill. Llwyddodd Danny, sy’n byw yng Nghei Connah ac yn gydberchennog ar Olive Tree Catering yn Runcorn, i gyrraedd y rownd derfynol trwy ennill rownd Gogledd Ewrop.

Mae gan CAW a’r Celtic Manor brofiad o gynnal digwyddiadau llwyddiannus gan Worldchefs. Yn 2017, croesawyd cynhadledd lwyddiannus Worldchefs Ewrop i Gymru ac yn yr haf y llynedd cynhaliwyd cyfarfod bwrdd Worldchefs yma.

Dywedodd Arwyn Watkins, OBE, llywydd y Gymdeithas a rheolwr gyfarwyddwr Cwmni Hyfforddiant Cambrian yn y Trallwng: “Mae croesawu digwyddiad byd-eang mawr fel hwn i Gymru yn anrhydedd ac yn dasg enfawr, ond mae Cymdeithas Goginio Cymru a’i phartneriaid yn edrych ymlaen at yr her o groesawu chefs gorau’r byd yr hydref nesaf. Mae’r paratoadau eisoes ar y gweill.

“Rydym yn ymwybodol iawn o faint ac arwyddocâd y digwyddiad pwysig hwn, sef unig ddigwyddiad mawr Worldchefs yn 2021, sy’n siŵr o ennyn diddordeb gwledydd y byd yng Nghymru.

“Bydd Her Fyd-eang y Chefs yn ffenest siop ardderchog i sgiliau coginio Cymru a phopeth sydd gennym i’w gynnig. Yn nyddiau pandemig COVID-19, rwy’n siŵr y bydd y diwydiant lletygarwch yn croesawu’r cyhoeddiad hwn. Y gobaith yw y bydd y digwyddiad yn help i Gymru ailgodi ar ôl dioddef effaith economaidd y pandemig.”

Dywedodd prif weithredwr ICC Cymru a Gwesty Hamdden y Celtic Manor, Ian Edwards: “Mae’n bleser gennym ddod â’r digwyddiad rhyngwladol mawreddog hwn i’n canolfannau yn 2021. Cyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar mai yn ICC Cymru y cynhelir Cynhadledd Wanwyn y Ceidwadwyr y flwyddyn nesaf ac mae’r cyhoeddiad hwn yn hwb arall i’w groesawu wrth i ni edrych ymlaen at ailgodi ar ôl blwyddyn drychinebus i’r diwydiant digwyddiadau.

“Mae ein hathroniaeth am goginio’n bwysig iawn i ni yn ICC Cymru a bydd croesawu’r achlysur mawreddeg hwn yn gyfle gwych i arddangos cyfoeth cynnyrch Cymru a’n diwydiant bwyd a diod, sydd ar gynnydd, i gynulleidfa ryngwladol.”

Dywedodd Lesley Griffiths, Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, Ynni a Materion Gwledig: “Er bod effeithiau pandemig COVID-19 yn parhau, mae’n braf iawn gweld bod bwriad i gynnal Her Fyd-eang Chefs Worldchefs yn y Celtic Manor yn 2021. Rwy’n falch fod sefydliadau sy’n trefnu digwyddiadau y flwyddyn nesaf yn ystyried dod i Gymru.”

Rhwydwaith byd-eang o 105 o gymdeithasau chefs sy’n cynrychioli dros 10 miliwn o chefs proffesiynol ym mhedwar ban y byd yw Worldchefs.

Cyhoeddodd Thomas Gugler, llywydd Worldchefs, y byddai Cymru’n cael ei gwahodd i gynnal Her Fyd-eang y Chefs ar ôl i’r wlad golli i Singapore o ddim ond pedair pleidlais mewn etholiad ar-lein ym mis Awst i ddewis ym mha wlad i gynnal Cyngres ac Expo Worldchefs yn 2024.

Recipe from the Helm of Michelin-starred Galvin Restaurants

Post author By Anand
Post date March 19, 2020

“It’s a combination of hard work and continuity that’s bought us this far.”

Chris Galvin has had an inspiring journey from pot washer to helming Michelin-starred restaurants.

Earliest food memory:

Driving through Lyon with my mum and dad in 1965, when I was eight. We’d stop at the many Les Routiers [road-side restaurants] along the way, and what struck me was that they were light-years ahead of our own awful motorway restaurants. I remember eating blanquette de veau, a white-wine veal stew; lots of creaminess, and it felt really grown-up and exotic.

Fillet of John Dory with Orange Glazed Endive

A beautiful dish for spring, when John Dory is at its best. You’ll need to start the dish in advance so that the curry oil has enough time to mature, so make sure you plan ahead.

Ingredients:
For the John Dory

4 John Dory fillets, skin on, each weighing approximately 140g
1/2 lemon, juiced
sea salt
white pepper

For the curry oil

50g of curry powder, medium
300ml of groundnut oil, or very light olive oil

For the dressing

40g of sultanas
20g of pine nuts, lightly toasted
10g of baby capers, salted
10 coriander leaves

For the cauliflower purée

1 cauliflower
100g of unsalted butter
100ml of milk
50ml of single cream

For the glazed endive

2 heads Belgian endive
20g of icing sugar
40g of unsalted butter
2 oranges
1 lemon
2 tbsp of red wine vinegar

Method:

Begin by making the curry oil, as this requires 2 days to mature. Place a large frying pan over a medium heat until hot, then add the curry powder directly to the pan. Cook the powder, stirring constantly to ensure it does not catch or burn, for 2 minutes until the spices are toasted.
Add the oil and cook to 60°C. Remove from the heat, leave to cool then store in a suitable container for 2 days until required.
In advance of making the dressing, place the sultanas in a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave the sultanas in the bowl overnight to soak.
For the cauliflower purée, remove the outer leaves and slice the cauliflower into small florets, discarding any excess stalk. Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat, then add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Sweat the cauliflower for 3-4 minutes until tender, then add the milk to the pan, cover with a lid and increase the heat slightly.
Cook until it is very tender, then drain the cauliflower and transfer to a blender, discarding the liquid from the pan. Blend the cooked cauliflower in the food processor, gradually adding the cream until fully combined. Season the purée to taste, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover the bowl in cling film and set aside, keeping warm until required.
Prepare the endives by removing any brown outer leaves, then slice the heads in half lengthwise, dusting the cut sides thoroughly with icing sugar. In a large pan, melt the butter over a medium heat and cook until foaming. Add the endives to the pan, sugar-side down, and cook until they begin to caramelise.
Use a microplane to finely grate the lemon and 1 of the oranges and add the grated zest to the pan. Continue to cook the endive, turning every couple of minutes, until they are well coloured and caramelised all over.
Meanwhile, juice the lemon and both of the oranges and add to the pan along with the vinegar. Reduce the heat and allow to cook very slowly until the endive is tender and the liquid has become a sticky caramel. Season and set to one side, keeping warm until required.
To make the dressing, drain the soaked sultanas and place in a pan along with the pine nuts, baby capers and 40ml of the prepared curry oil. Heat very gently and stir to combine.
Meanwhile, coat the John Dory fillets in the remaining curry oil and leave to marinade for 10 minutes. Place a large, non-stick pan over a high heat and allow it to get very hot. At this point, add the fish fillets to the pan skin-side down. Using the curry oil marinade as cooking oil, leave the fish to cook for 2-3 minutes and allow the skin of the fish to crisp up.
Once the fish skin has become crispy, reduce the heat to medium and turn the fish over to cook for a further minute. Remove the fish from the pan, season, and sprinkle with a little lemon juice. Leave to drain on the kitchen paper.
To serve, use a teaspoon to add a swipe of cauliflower purée around the top and bottom of each plate and place a piece of endive in the centre. Allow the endive to fan out slightly before topping with the John Dory. Add the coriander leaves to the warm dressing and drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately.

See you in St. Petersburg.

Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee Created at IKA/Culinary Olympics 2020

Worldchefs has partnered with the Culinary Ability Awards, an international non-profit organization that raises awareness in society for people with disabilities through professional skills development in the culinary industry.
Joining in a collective vision to focus on ability in disability showcasing inclusion, a Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee has been established.
The Culinary Ability Awards will also venture to Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 in St. Petersburg, Russia to compete alongside the Global Chefs Challenge final. Individuals with a variety of disabilities will compete against each other to showcase their skills and talent on a global scale.

Paris, 20th of February 2020 – Worldchefs has partnered with the Culinary Ability Awards, an international non-profit organization that raises awareness in society for people with disabilities through professional skills development in the culinary industry, joining in their vision to celebrate difference and create opportunities in the industry in which people with disabilities can thrive.

While hospitality is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries, it is currently experiencing staff shortages, with employment in the industry being a significant challenge for businesses. Many disabled people are excluded from the labor market as they lack industry relevant qualifications.

To help address this and to advocate for integration beyond inclusion for people with disabilities, a Worldchefs Culinary Ability Awards Committee has been established. The Committee will be led by Chef Brendan O’Neill, with Awards founder Chef Chris Sandford serving as a Special Advisor. The aim is to provide career opportunities for individuals with special needs, and to deliver passionate and valuable team members to professional kitchens struggling to retain staff.

“For us as Worldchefs, it is the biggest honor to establish a Committee under the banner of the Culinary Ability Awards. This gives us the pleasure to include individuals with disabilities and chef talent from all around the world in our noble organization and family. Here at IKA/Culinary Olympics, it was a fantastic opportunity to witness the Culinary Ability Awards in action. The inspiring team showcased their knowledge and dedication for the culinary field. As of today, this Committee, under the leadership of Chris Sandford, will ensure that this part of our community is represented on the global stage. Congratulations to you all, and thank you sincerely for making this possible.” – Thomas A. Gugler, Worldchefs President

The Culinary Ability Awards will also venture to Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 in St. Petersburg, Russia to compete alongside the Global Chefs Challenge final. Individuals with a variety of disabilities will compete against each other to showcase their skills and talent to a global audience. Competitors will have 40 minutes to prepare, cook and plate two main course plates, judged on creativity, workmanship, composition, and presentation.

“It is my distinct pleasure to have the acknowledgment of such a globally respected organisation on supporting our vision of integration and inclusion. An extended thanks to Richard Beck and the German Chef Federation VKD in their support to showcase our Culinary Ability Olympic team. We are thrilled to have such a wonderful opportunity to share the skills these talented individuals bring. To the president Thomas and all Worldchefs members, from the bottom of our hearts a very big thank you for establishing this Committee supporting individuals with disabilities in our industry. For all countries who wish to join in we welcome your interest in uniting our industry.” – Chris Sandford, Culinary Ability Awards Founder

Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2020 will be a primary platform to showcase the Culinary Ability Awards Competition to chef delegates, industry professionals, and celebrated voices in gastronomy from across the five continents. To learn more about Congress 2020, visit at www.worldchefscongress.org.
