TOP CHEFS Richard Corrigan and Ron Blaauw impressed local students today with a demonstration of their world famous skills.
The duo were signed up by Sail Royal Greenwich to design the menus for the spectacular corporate hospitality event which will take place this summer on board 16 tall ships.
Young chefs studying for their NVQs in Hospitality at Shooters Hill Post-16 Campus, Woolwich, have been selected to help deliver the catering for the event and this morning’s masterclass gave them the opportunity to meet the men behind the menus and ask questions about how to forge a successful career in catering and hospitality.
Richard Corrigan is responsible for Corrigan’s Mayfair and Bentley’s Oyster Bar and Grill. Ron Blaauw’s restaurant in Amsterdam, named after himself, gained its second Michelin star last year. Both men offered students, who are being paid for their involvement, the chance to gain more experience in their restaurants’ kitchens.
Mark Vincent, Head teacher at Shooters Hill Post-16 Campus, said: “Thanks to Sail Greenwich, we are now able to offer our students not only the highest level of work experience, which will be brilliant for their CVs, but also the potential to make vital employer links leading to work opportunities in a difficult job market.”
