Chef Academy Graduation
The BaxterStorey Chef Academy continues to go from strength to strength and its reputation in the industry is gaining momentum. The 2008 Graduation evening was held at Unilever’s head office in Blackfriars where BaxterStorey were delighted to welcome guest speaker Michael Caines, the Michelin Starred chef of Gidleigh Park fame, to the occasion. Michael, who is one of the best known chefs in the United Kingdom and is often referred to as the “chefs’ chef” gave a tremendously inspiring talk and shared the milestones of his career. His enthusiasm for his work and chosen industry was successfully conveyed to a very willing audience.
