Sargeant, former head chef at Gordon Ramsay at Claridges, demonstrated dishes such as crab & salmon rolls and poached monkfish curry.
He also gave the chefs tips on how to take their fine dining cooking to the next level in their care home, from using different cuts of meats to adding extra flavour to the dishes.
