Stefan Sewell, founder of Sour Fennel Catering, as well as being a chef manager at the Royal Air Force, has been crowned the winner of the inaugural Kraft Heinz Masters of the Menu chef competition. The prestigious new contest celebrates the creativity and skill of chefs from independent venues across the UK.
The finalists received one-on-one mentorship from chef James Cochran, with support from Kraft Heinz chefs, to develop their business acumen and culinary skills, before competing in an intimate two-round cook-off for the Masters of the Menu crown. Sewell impressed the judges with his Yakiniku Glazed Beef Cheek and Miso and Heinz Korean Barbecue Glazed Duck Breast.
His prize was £2,000 worth of Heinz products and a cash prize of £2,000. Sewell will also co-host an exclusive supper club with Cochran.
'Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with restaurant chefs'
Sewell said: “This shows that catering chefs can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with restaurant chefs. I can’t wait to see where this opportunity takes me next and am beyond excited to work alongside James at our upcoming supper club.”
Cochran added: “This is a win not just for Stefan, but for the wider catering industry too. It proves that some of the most talented and passionate chefs are working behind the scenes in places people might not expect.”
