Dining with Chef Angela Hartnett, MBE

Schedule:

6.30-7pm: Arrival

7pm sharp: Angela's talk

8pm: Dinner

Less than 20% of Chefs and Head Cooks in the UK are apparently women, a percentage worse than for female CEOs. While there are more than a hundred male chefs worldwide with the prestigious three Michelin star status, the number of women holding that accolade is still a single-digit one.

Things seem to be gradually changing with more and more names of female Chefs starting to circulate around. The most high-profile of those in the UK is that of Angela Hartnett’s, who has kindly agreed to host Eyedea at her Café Murano restaurant and speak to us about her career and the restaurant industry over a delicious three-course meal (detailed further below).

Angela’s simple yet sophisticated modern Italian cooking style, her down-to-earth attitude and hard work ethic have earned her much respect and admiration in the industry. Amongst various awards, she received her first Michelin star in 2004 and was awarded a MBE for her Services to the Hospitality Industry in 2007. After 17 years at the side of Gordon Ramsay who proved a great mentor and next to which she rose to the position of Chef-Patron at the Connaught she undertook her own projects with the acclaimed Murano restaurant, the Merchant’s Tavern and most recently Café Murano.
