Dinner was prepared by three very talented chefs headed by Executive Chef Carlos Sotomayor. Joining him on the evening was French Chef, Michael Wendling of Cuivre, and American Chef, Austin Hu of Madison.

Together they prepared a tapas style sharing menu that was a treat for the circa 60 members and guests. Much acclaim was given for each course but special mention must be made of the very interesting ‘gin and tonic’ salmon in the canapé selection at the reception.

Following the dessert it was time to welcome and thank our three chefs with the presentation of certificates, thus capping another highly successful Chaîne dinner getting the Bailliage’s programme of events for 2017 off to a very auspicious start.
