Two teenage students have just won the opportunity of a lifetime to visit Brussels, Seafood Expo and prepare their winning salmon dishes for Loch Duart. Jaypee Escaro, 18 from Stevenage and Michael Brown, 18 from Letchworth Garden City, are both Level 3 students studying the advanced diploma in professional cookery course at North Hertfordshire college.<\/p>\n
Loch Duart\u2019s British Food Ambassador, Patrick Evans challenged students at several colleges they had been working to submit recipes and photos of canapes they created, which showcased the taste and texture the award-winning salmon.<\/p>\n
Patrick Evans, Loch Duart\u2019s British Food Ambassador, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love the opportunity to work with and support young ambitious chefs. By creating this challenge Loch Duart is giving the winning students Jaypee and Michael an experience which we hope will be both challenging and inspiring. I\u2019d like to thank all the colleges and students that took part. We can\u2019t wait to share their delicious Loch Duart canapes at Seafood Expo 2020.\u201d
\nIn what is believed to be a first for a Scottish salmon farm at Seafood Expo the students, over three days, will support Patrick and the Loch Duart team at their stand, preparing and serving their winning canapes at the world\u2019s largest seafood trade fair.<\/p>\n
North Hertfordshire (college\u2019s Hospitality & Catering Course) college Tutor Anthony Gascoigne, and the Team Leader said:<\/p>\n
“This is a fantastic opportunity for the students to expose them to the seafood industry at such a high level. Working with quality produce like Loch Duart and having the privilege to represent them at the Brussels Seafood Expo is not only developing their skills but exposing them to industry in preparation for them moving into full time work after college. I very much look forward to developing the relationship between North Hertfordshire college and Loch Duart.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jaypee Escaro\u2019s winning recipe was \u2018Salmon tartare, green apple, pickles, cucumber, spring onion, radish, dill oil, Dijon mustard on rye crisps. He said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to do this would expose me to the seafood industry and help me with my creativity when it comes to preparing and cooking dishes on a large scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael Brown\u2019s winning recipe was \u2018Blini with beetroot, orange and whisky\/gin cured salmon, candied beetroot, horseradish cream and chives\u2019. He said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI will benefit so from this experience because we are going to serve a lot of people and the challenge of trying to make every dish the same will develop my confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
