Care UK crowns Chef of the Year

The Care UK Chef of the Year, said: “I’m thrilled to have won Care UK’s Chef of the Year competition. The level of skill and creativity from the other chefs was really high. I’m really pleased to have been recognised for my ability to create food residents enjoy and for the high standard of cooking on offer at Priors House. I thoroughly enjoy my job and find it very rewarding, particularly when residents with smaller appetites enjoy the meals I prepare.”

Nikolina’s winning dishes included Asian marinated cod loins with squash puree and sauté vegetables, and a chocolate pavé with caramel brittle. Four chefs took part in the cook off at Unilever’s professional kitchens in Surrey.
