Craft Guild of Chef Awards 2009

I attended the coveted Craft Guild of Chefs awards last night and a jolly good time was had by all. Great to catch up with so many industry faces all positive about the times ahead and once again the event proved an inspirational showcase of the industry’s culinary talent. A personal congrats to Dennis Mwakulua – well overdue and completely deserved and Simon Stocker a worthy winner of the education chef award…big congratulation hugs to both of you.

Heston deservedly, if not slightly prematurely, won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ripe old age of 43…but then hey what else is there left for this awesome culinary genius to achieve? And as ever his acceptance was personable and gracious…he really does bring a bit a ‘cool’ to our industry.

And the answer is ‘yes I am’ for those of you who may have been wondering…the food was good but I didn’t indulge that much.
