UK’s Cudmore wins Aramark International Chefs’ Cup

John Cudmore, head chef at Battersea Power Station in London, has been awarded the top prize at Aramark’s International Chefs’ Cup 2023 in Santiago, Chile. He was assisted by chef Liam Davidson.

The annual culinary competition saw 14 Aramark chefs from 14 different countries compete for the prestigious prize through a series of cooking challenges. It required teams to prepare a three-course menu for four people, with the chefs being challenged to use fresh, local and international ingredients for their menus.

Cudmore qualified by impressing judges in the UK’s domestic heat with delicious meals and exceptionally high levels of culinary talent. Davidson was the runner-up.

Eduoardo Rojas, president of Aramark Latin America said: “We are delighted to announce John Cudmore from the UK as our winner. He demonstrated an incredible understanding of flavours and culinary expertise which translated into delicious and sensational dishes.”

Cudmore added: “It has been an inspiration and an honour to take part in this event. I would like to thank all those who have supported me in my career, and all those involved in organising the Aramark 2023 International Chefs’ Cup.”
