The Hilton Hotel Manchester

David Gale

We were very excited to find out that David Gale was awarded Manchester’s Chef of the Year this month.

Our very own Northern Cook Off Chef has been awarded a prestigious title for his superb cooking at The Hilton Hotel in Manchester. With both of his teams ‘GT on the Rocks’ (Grant Thornton) and ‘The Saucy Seasiders’ (Hi-Life Dining Club) through to the second round it may not be the only award he will be picking up this year if they make it through to the final. We will be venturing up the 168.87 metre high hotel in the heart of Manchester to film the master at work in his kitchen later this month, we’ll keep you posted!!

Nut’s about

Nutter!

We have been watching the master at work in his restaurant set in the stunning Lancashire countryside.

Chopping, dicing, filleting, seasoning, diamantes! We followed Andrew Nutter as he moulded his new team 'The Collander Girls' representing their company PSL Print Management in the Great Cook Off 2010.

Andrew passed down his talent as he bigged up his team to win this year – and even wrote all over the kitchen’s white boards ‘The Calendar Girls to Win’ as he thinks a saucy calendar shot in his kitchen featuring his star girls would sway this year’s judges. He created their very own chef whites later to be coated in his trademark diamantes to sport during the Cook Off here in Cheshire.
