avid McKown, director at Skills for Chefs commented: “We are always aiming to change things at
the conference. The last big change was when we decided to use the new facilities at Sheffield City College and this year we are including international chefs in the business programme.” One of the big names to present
their cuisine is Jordi Cruz, a two-star Michelin chef from Barcelona. David added: “To atract an international culinary star is really exciting for the conference. I’m sure regulars will be joined by some new delegates this year.”
“I am sure the culinary theatre will be packed when Jordi Cruz presents on Wednesday 10 July” David McKown, Director at Skills for Chefs
David, who is also the head of training
and quality within accommodation and commercial services at The University of Sheffield, also added: “The critics say that the coherency and clarity of his avant garde cuisine has continued to stand out from changing fashions and trends. I am sure the culinary theatre will be packed when Jordi presents on Wednesday 10 July." In May 2010, Jordi Cruz took the lead
of ABaC Restaurant & Hotel, which is now the gastronomic reference of the city and was awarded "Best Restaurant of Catalonia 2011," by the Catalan Academy of Gastronomy. Jordi is the author of ‘Cooking with
Logic, Technique and Concepts in the Kitchen of Estany Clar’ and he is now writing his second about his cuisine. Jordi was born in Manresa, Barcelona
in 1978 and studied cooking at the Escola Superior de Hostelería Joviat in the same city. At 14, he began working in the restaurant Cercs Estany Clar (Barcelona), where he received his first Michelin star in November 2004, becoming, at 25, the youngest chef in the country and second youngest in the world to receive this distinction. The international theme continues
over the two day conference since Martin Lippo (Argentina) and Angel Salvador (Spain) will also be presenting with further announcements scheduled over the next few weeks. The conference also welcomes back
Paul Gayler MBE who last presented at the conference six years ago. Paul will open proceedings on this occasion with a keynote address. UB
