Description

Graham Squire is a 20 year old chef from Portsmouth who will represent the UK at the international showcase for vocational skills, the WorldSkills event in Japan in November 2007. His skills are highly rated by his employer, the Claridges Hotel in London. We follow Graham during a long shift in the restaurant where he explains how to chop vegetables quickly, how to prepare beef fillet for 300 and how you must always taste the water you are going to boil things in! He travels to Omero Galluci’s restaurant in Crawley where he gets a master class in preparing pasta, stuffing Gnocchi with parmesan and bacon served with fresh scallops. Graham has to marry long hours in the kitchen with an intensive coaching regime designed by his UK Skills training manager Peter Joyner.
