Bistro L!VE through to Final

Bistro L!VE through to final of Inaugural Annual Chamber Chef Competition 2011 The Milton keynes & North Bucks Chamber of Commerce, in association with the Extra Care Charity are celebrating the quality, diversity and choice of our dining culinary establishments and have bought the 'Chefs Challenge' to Milton keynes and its surrounding area's. This gives all the highly skilled chefs across the region the opportunity to go head to head and see who comes out on top. It also provides the vehicle to showcase the extreme talents of the most significant employees within the catering sector - The Chef! The idea is that three Chefs from Hotels, Traditional & Gourmet Pubs, Restaurants, Conference and Specialist Venues respectively will go head to head on the night at an independant neutral venue. The Chefs are supported by the local college and De Veer Young Chef Academy. Each Chef would, on the night cook their own chosen signiture menu for their seated guests based on a set theme for the evenig and a maximum budget spend. The judging will be done on a scoring system by the diners and the chef with the highest score will go through to the final. Bistro L!VE entered and competed in the second heat on Thursday 3rd March - the theme being 'Energising Foods'. We prepared a acai berry, ginseng and superfruit tower, followed by a Loch Duart Thai Salmon Fillet, finishing with the most divine Lemon Tart around. Out scoring everyone on the night we were put through to the final on 14th April to go head to head with the best Chefs around. The energising theme was a tricky yet enjoyable challenge. With a healthy outlook mixed with all the colours of the rainbow, we wowed the diners and staff and was voted the best on the night and given our place in the final. The theme for the final is 'Fine Glamour' therefore the gloves are off and its time to give everyone a taste of 'Fine Dining Bistro L!VE Style'!!!
