We are also pleased to announce that last years demonstrator for Rougié, Head Chef Mickael Weiss of Coq d'Argent has won this years Skills for Chefs annual competition on the 16th July, to be crowned the Restaurant Chef of the Year 2009.

Chefs had one hour to cook a two course meal from a mystery basket and in that time Mickael cooked a staggering feast: smoked pork fillet wrapped in Parma ham accompanied by sweet potato purée and Royale , leeks and thyme. For dessert , Mickael cooked not one but three desserts in his Berry Trio: gooseberry fool , strawberry cheesecake sablée and blackberry dark chocolate sabayon tart.

This years Conference was opened by the General Manager of the Thisle Hotel Glasgow.

Welcome to our 2009 Site

Our National Chefs Conference is now in its 4th year and becoming unmissable by any serious Chef.
It delights me when I speak to fellow Chefs who rave about a dish or technique they have introduced to their repertoires that came from our Demonstrating Chefs. This year we had 680 delegates and 230 for the evening conference dinner.

I am extremely proud that Scotland has more culinary accolades than ever before, more Michelin Stars, AA Rosettes and the amount of diverse businesses that have achieved The Healthy Living Award is phenomenal.

It is so important that we know where to acquire the very best produce as well as the latest equipment and all the ancillaries to make our job that little bit easier.
This Year’s Star Studded Line up was certainly World Class (see below)
