Tibor Nagy, a Head Chef for
leading independent contract caterer, 7 Day Catering, beat of stiff competition
from 23 talented chefs from around the country to win a silver award at the recent
‘Major Culinary Challenge’, organised by the Craft Guild of Chefs in
association with Major International at Westminster Kingsway College in London.
In what was his first
professional chef’s competition, Tibor competed live in the ‘Open Main Course
Fish Dish’ for two, which allowed 30 minutes to prepare, cook and present two
portions of a fish main dish course of his choice. Dishes had to reflect
seasonality and sustainability and contain a suitable starch and/or vegetable as
an accompaniment.
Tibor’s menu featured roulade
of salmon and baby spinach wrapped in potato and horseradish crust, served with
a zesty lemon risotto, roasted baby beetroot, red vein sorrel and red amaranth.
