Following on from my previous blog on the 20th June, Welcome to Hells "Cruise" Kitchen, it seems that P&O have followed suit. With response to Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Sea's Culinary challenge, P and O teamed up with GMTV to bring us "Chef's at Sea!" How they thought of this name beats me, but Marco Pierre White judged the final, so if the name is good enough for him, it’s good enough for me......
GMTV played host to the event, as its nationwide search for Britain’s hidden culinary talent came to a close last week with the four finalists battling it out onboard Ventura. GMTV Presenter Claire Sweeney was at the helm as the four finalist contestants, were chosen by GMTV viewers.
Haute cuisine teacher and chef, Rosemary Shrager, of Ladette to Lady and Soap star Super chef, Mentored the budding chefs by guiding them through a series of fun food tasks on board and on shore as they test their culinary credentials against each other live at sea.
P&O cruise’s passengers onboard voted for their two favourites in a theatre ‘cook-off’ mid-cruise. The two finalists went head to head in the final challenge – cooking Marco Pierre White’s signature dish for him and the Captain on the Captain’s table.
Unlike Allure of the Sea's culinary challenge, the winner was not rewarded with the chance to join the cruise lines culinary team but with a Caribbean cruise on Ventura, for themselves and their family, and a private cooking master class with Marco Pierre White on board. A good prize for the short term but if it was me I think I’d rather the job! Either way I wonder who will be next to launch a culinary competition, maybe somebody should do an afternoon tea and cake competition! What this space, I thought of it first!
