Top chefs star at HCC’s Royal Welsh stand

 

 
 
An unbeatable line-up of leading chefs will star on the Hybu Cig Cymru stand during this year's Royal Welsh Show.

Francesco Mazzei, Stephen Terry, Luke Thomas and Dudley Newbury will join HCC's own cooking expert Elwen Roberts for a series of cooking demonstrations featuring Welsh Lamb and Welsh Beef during the four day event.
 
"This is an excellent line-up of top chefs who regularly appear on our television screens and are therefore extremely well known to show goers," said Elwen, who is HCC's Consumer Executive.  
 
"Cooking demonstrations by leading chefs are an enormous draw, and I expect this year to be no different," she said.
 
"The HCC stand is a perfect venue to show off their skills, since it has a raised cooking area and seating for up to 40 people with plenty of room for many more to stand and watch the action."  
 
Francesco Mazzei, Chef Patron of L'Anima in London will be at HCC's show stand on Monday and Tuesday (23rd & 24th).
 
A regular of TV programmes including BBC1s Saturday Kitchen, he is an enthusiastic advocate of Welsh Lamb and is a member of HCC's Welsh Lamb Club, a group of chefs and leading restaurants.
 
He has helped promote Welsh Lamb in conjuction with HCC during the Taste of London events in 2011 and 2012.  
 
Dudley Newbury is very well known throughout Wales, having had numerous series of his own television cookery programmes on S4C and appeared on many other magazine programmes.
 
His programmes have explored different cooking techniques from around the world.
 
He is also the author of several books. He will be demonstrating on Tuesday and Wednesday (24th & 25th).  
 
Luke Thomas is a rising star on the culinary stage. Although only 18, he has demonstrated regularly on HCC's stands at both the Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair for the past four years.
 
In 2009 he won the prestigious UK FutureChef competition and since then he has gained work experience with some of the top names in the business, including Rick Stein, Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver and Gary Rhodes.
 
Earlier this year he became head chef at Luke's Dining Room at Sanctum on the Green in Berkshire.
 
His ambition is to become the youngest person ever to earn a Michelin star - and he is currently filming a documentary with the BBC for screening in the autumn. Luke, from Connah's Quay, will give a cooking demonstration on Wednesday (25th).  
 
Stephen Terry, owner of the Hardwick in Abergavenny, will give a cooking masterclass on Thursday (26th).
 
A regular on television's numerous food programmes, Stephen has served alongside many famous chefs including Marco Pierre White, Michel Roux Jr and Nick Nairn.
 
He has worked at Oliver Peyton's restaurant Coast in London's Mayfair and L'Arpege with chef Alain Passard in Paris.
 
Earlier this month Stephen won the coveted ‘Catey' Restaurateur of the Year Award, considered to be the hospitality industry's Oscars.
 
His focus is to create the best food using the best local produce, and Welsh Lamb fits the bill perfectly.
