RCP London Events hosts the IACC Copper Skillet competition

Thursday, July 7, 2022 - 10:45

RCP London Events has hosted the UK heat of the prestigious IACC Copper Skillet competition. The competition highlights the artistry and skills of IACC-member conference venue chefs from around the world to honour their contributions to providing an outstanding conference experience.

There are two categories of entry, a senior category (26 years of age and older) and a junior category (under 26 years). Both categories compete in the same cook-off, with the same competition rules. Chefs first participate in their country competition and winners then go straight to the Global Final. There are currently three chapters, Americas, Europe and Australia Asia Pacific.

Junior Winner - Kaya McGowen

Senior Winner - Christopher Jefferson

The UK heat was held at RCP London Events on 19th July and saw chefs working from across IACC member venues in the UK compete for the title. They were required to create an entrée using contents from a Mystery Basket. The entrée consisted of two proteins, plus items from a pantry list and the chef presented two identical plates, one for judging and one for viewing by the audience. An independent panel of judges, including Robert Milligan the Company Chef at Venues by CH&CO, evaluated the entrées according to set criteria. The champion Junior and Champion Senior chef of each heat, will progress to the next competition right up to the Global Copper Skillet Final at the IACC-Americas Annual Conference.

RCP London Events’ Head of Commercial Events, Natacha Allen, says: “We are known for our passion for food at the RCP and were delighted to host this prestigious event which showcases the fantastic catering talent from across our industry."
