Louis Morford has been named BM Caterers' Chef of the Year after impressing judges at the latest iteration of its culinary competition. A chef de partie at a London law firm, his winning dish featured turbot cooked on the bone with a side of leeks glazed in sherry vinegar. His prize includes a food-focused trip to one of Europe’s culinary hotspots, featuring visits to multiple restaurants and markets.
The competition saw five chefs being tasked with cooking a turbot alongside a box of mystery ingredients chosen by judge Adam Byatt. They also had to make petit fours and serve a terrine they had prepared ahead of time with garnishes and accompaniments, all in an hour and 45 minutes.
'A great opportunity'
Morford said: “It was a great opportunity to be involved in the competition. I'm really grateful to BM and the innovation team for organising this event, and for all the development opportunities they provide throughout the year.”
Byatt added: “Pushing and putting your head above the parapet is how we grow as chefs and progress. It's all about the journey, not winning. No doubt the chefs will have grown from this experience. Well done everyone.”
BM also hosted its Hungry Chef competition, which is aimed at junior chefs within the company, recently. Yufei Lei, a commis chef also at a London law firm, was named the overall winner.
