Congratulations, Abigail
A 19-year-old from Nottingham has beaten off stiff competition, triumphing at the British Culinary Federation's Young Chef of the Year awards. Abigail Bunker, who works at Restaurant Six in West Bridgford, beat chefs from Heston Blumenthal's three Michelin-starred Fat Duck and London's Ritz hotel.
Abigail, who was has worked at Trent Bridge’s elevated dining destination for a year and was competing in such a contest for the first time, revealed that the day had given her a taste for the white heat of competition. “When they called my name out to say I’d won the award, I was like ‘oh my goodness!’,” she said.“I’m not always over-confident in my own abilities, but to win a category like Best Main Course has helped me to take a step back and think ‘maybe I can do this’.
