Slow Food UK Chef Alliance 125th chef and London Restaurant Festival 2014
Slow Food UK’s Chef Alliance reaches 125 members
Slow Food UK is proud to announce that its Chef Alliance, sponsored by Lavazza, has reached 125th members.
Announcing Xavier Boyer, Executive Head Chef at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon as its 125th member, Slow Food is also delighted to welcome Tom Kerridge of the Hand and Flowers, who too has recently joined the Alliance.
Since Chef Alliance spokesman Richard Corrigan first set up the Alliance with Slow Food back in autumn 2011, membership has rapidly grown and today all 125 prestigious chefs join in Slow Food’s plight to champion Forgotten Foods that form the UK Ark of Taste; a programme dedicated to protecting traditional foods from small scale producers that are under threat of extinction.
Says Xavier Boyer; “I am delighted to join the Slow Food UK Chef Alliance as its 125th member, it is such an honour. It is also an incredible privilege to be able to work with all of the extraordinary Forgotten Food producers that Slow Food UK strives to protect, of which there are now nearly 80.”
In celebrating this monimental occasion and amperfying the importance of sourcing, Chef Xavier has set out creating the coming London Restaurant Festival menu with "Ark of Taste" ingredients to delight diners taste buds.
