Marco and more for Skills for Chefs

The Skills for Chefs Conference programme will have something for all chefs with a diverse range of styles and tastes from around the world. The event will open on the evening of Wednesday 28th June at the University of Sheffield with An Audience with Marco Pierre White. A fascinating insight into his three Michelin star career is promised, with 180 chefs present.

The business programme will continue on the 29th at Sheffield College with two Michelin Starred Henrique Sá Pessoa from Lisbon, presenting some classical dishes from Portugal. Also presenting in the culinary theatre will be Sally Abé, who is returning to Sheffield having completed a degree at Sheffield Hallam University. She is head chef at The Harwood Arms, London’s only Michelin-starred pub. 

Masterclass sessions at the conference are a feature of the business programme and Luke French from Jöro Restaurant will capture the imagination of delegates with his Nordic- and Asian-influenced cuisine. Jöro is now firmly fixed as one of Yorkshire’s must-visit restaurants, continuing to offer adventurous small plates that are a pure distillation of French’s distinctive style.

Also presenting a series of masterclasses is Andrew Gravett from The Langham Hotel. He is an incredibly talented pastry chef and is in charge of one of the most famous afternoon teas in London.

A packed conference will conclude with a gala dinner on the evening of the 29th that will crown the winners of UK Young Restaurant Team of the Year 2023.
