The Celtic Cook-off in West Cork is going to be quite a food event....we get the latest from Stephen Sage, editor@westcorkfood.com:
Stephane
Delourme, Head Chef at The Seafood Restaurant, Padstow,
to Represent Brittany in 2012 Celtic Cook Off in West Cork
The Celtic Cook Off in West Cork continues to build on the success of the inaugural event in September 2011 by attracting top chefs from the Celtic regions to take part in what is becoming one of the landmark culinary events of the year.
The 2011 Celtic Cook Off was held as part of the A Taste of West Cork Festival that proved very popular with the paying public, the local food producers, Fáilte Ireland, the media and all the Chefs involved. The basis of the Celtic Cook Off was to create a fun and informative Cooking Show that showcases the best of West Cork produce cooked simply with each Chef’s own interpretation and ideas.
Stephane Delourme has worked at The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow for over a decade. He joined Rick and Jill Stein as head chef at their flagship establishment when he moved to Cornwall in 1998.
Born in Paris, Stephane spent his early years learning to cook traditional French dishes by his mother’s side in Brittany, near Quiberon where all his family come from, before embarking upon a career in the culinary arts. He resided in Paris working for Sully D’Auteuil, one of the city’s finest establishments with two Michelin Stars, before moving on to Au Vieux Berlin, specialising in game.
Stephane’s talent and ability led him to England in 1983, where he worked in London’s Roof Restaurant at the Hilton on Park Lane. Stephane was also instrumental in the opening of some of London’s most distinguished restaurants, working alongside leading chefs including Michael Croft at Mirabelle and Martin Webb at Quaglino’s.
In 1995, Stephane returned to France where he worked at Michelin-starred restaurant Prunier in Paris for two years. His career has taken him around the globe on the world’s most famous cruise liner, the QE2, as well as to Dublin where he worked with Patrick Guilbaud his self-named two Michelin-star restaurant, before returning to the UK once more.
It was in the late nineties that Stephane finally fulfilled his childhood dream to live near the coast and work with high quality seafood. He moved to Cornwall in 1998 and joined The Seafood Restaurant as head chef, which has since won ‘Best Seafood Restaurant Award’ on five occasions.
Other chefs taking part in the Celtic Cook Off 2012 and its related activities during the Taste of West Cork Food Festival include Shaun Hill (Wales), Jack Stein (Cornwall), Paul Flynn (Ireland), Roy Brett the 2011 Celtic Cook Off Winner and Tim Anderson, 2011 MasterChef Winner.
