starred French chef Régis Marcon), emerging local talents and critics take part in a variety of competitions, seriously special one-off dinners, demonstrations and more. It’s a week fuelled by collaboration over competitiveness and one of the most striking things throughout the festival was witnessing the support, respect and ultimately new relationships formed between all the chefs taking part. This year’s edition was a frst for Britain’s Rob Chambers , executive chef of the Michelin-starred Luca in London, who was one of six one-star chefs competing for the Régis Marcon culinary trophy. For him, part of the appeal was the opportunity to cook somewhere completely new and different, ‘I’m not one of those chefs who loves competitions,’ he tells me, ‘but when I heard about the festival, it just felt like an incredible chance to take myself out of my comfort zone a bit, to go to a totally new place, meet some new people and hopefully learn some new things.’
