I’m back in London today to speak GardenCentreCatering Forum. My topic of the day is the ‘Psychology behind brand storytelling’

Back from another trip away … this time to Northampton for two workshops. Branding first, then how to nurture your creativity (psychology and science based). Really enjoyed both.

And the winner of the National Chef of the Year competition, in our 50th anniversary year is Ben Murphy, chef patron Launceston Place. #NCOTY

Truly grateful and honoured to of won National Chef of the year 2023. A huge thank you to all the judges, David Mulcahy Solstice by Kenny Atkinson for running such a special event and making this award a dream come true. #NCOTY #50years

Ray Bradbury’s advice for being more creative Every night read: - one short story - one poem - one essay Do that for a thousand nights and you’ll be stuffed full of ideas

As we celebrated 50 years of #NCOTY on Monday night it was amazing to welcome back many former winners to the event. One of those was Gordon Ramsay who won the competition in 1992. He spoke to us after the awards and revealed what winning this title meant to him.

We’ve got a date for the diaries of school chefs. On Wednesday 18th January we’ll be going live on our Instagram with Louise Wagstaffe who is judging the LACA School Chef of the Year. She’ll be sharing some hints and tips for those considering entering.

Lovely to see these two yesterday 😃
