Tom Kerridge – head chef at the Hand and Flowers and Xavier Boyer and executive chef at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon – has joined Slow Food UK’s Chef Alliance, taking its membership up to 125.
The alliance, whose first member was Richard Corrigan in 2011, actively champions UK produce and is dedicated to collect and raise awareness of threatened traditional foods from small-scale producers to prevent them from disappearing.
Richard Corrigan commented: “I am extremely pleased about the success of the Chef Alliance, now counting an impressive 125 members, all championing the forgotten foods and Slow Food UK’s Ark of Taste programme. Slow Food has done a remarkable job in giving all these fantastic producers a window to chefs and consumers. The battles to fight in our food system in order to promote more sustainable, clean and local food are still numerous, but with the precious help of the Chef Alliance we can definitely say we are moving in the right direction.”
Slow Food UK is making its Natural & Organic Products Europe debut in 2015. More more information, click here.
