George Kataras has been selected as one of 20 global finalists for his winning dish of whole turbot. He will represent the UK and Ireland in the final showdown in Milan on the October 13th.
The UK & Ireland’s S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2016, said: “My dish is inspired by the summer and my favourite seasonal ingredients. I like to cook without using any food wastage, which happens far too often in this industry.
“My dish includes the bones and head of Turbot, which both add lots of flavour to the sauces. It’s a dish that’s now included on my menu.
“To win the S.Pellegrino UK and Ireland final is a dream come true and I can’t wait to perfect my dish with Claude Bosi in the lead up to the global Milan final.”
Claude Bosi of Hibiscus (London), Ollie Dabbous of Dabbous (London), JP McMahon of Cava Bodega (Galway) and Ross Lewis of Chapter One (Dublin) made up the judging panel.
