Mövenpick launches Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year 2015 competition
Abstract
Mövenpick Ice Cream has announced the launch of its annual Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year competition, which this year challenges professional chefs from across the country to create a contemporary twist on the classic ice cream sundae.

Now in its fourth year, the theme for this year gives chefs the opportunity to showcase their creative flair, whilst highlighting the range of flavours of Mövenpick ice cream.

Harriet Morley, business development manager at Mövenpick ice cream, said: “We’re thrilled to be launched the Mövenpick Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year competition for the fourth time. This year, we’ve introduced an exciting twist that focuses on the classic ice cream sundae. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the chefs come up with.”

Only five chefs will make the shortlist and go on to compete at the live final, which will be held at the brand new Good Housekeeping Institute in Soho on Wednesday, June 3rd.

On the night, each recipe will be scrutinized by the panel of esteemed judges, including head judge Will Torrent; Joe Lutrario, features editor of Restaurant magazine; Sheila Eggleston, food and drink editor at Dewberry Redpoint; Tim Futter, Mövenpick ice cream consultant chef; and Helen Wainwright, senior researcher and food specialist at Good Housekeeping.

The winner will have the opportunity to showcase their recipe at Taste of London this summer, as well as VIP tickets to the festival, a two-night stay at a five star London hotel and spending money for their trip. The runner up will also be awarded VIP tickets to the festival and an overnight stay at a four star hotel.

Will Torrent, head judge of the competition, said: “I’m delighted to be part of the Mövenpick Gourmet Dessert Chef of the Year competition for the second time. Whilst last year’s caliber of entries was outstanding, I’m really looking forward to seeing the chefs raise the bar even higher to earn the prestigious title as competition champion.”
