Olivier Guyard-Mulkerrin
Les Saveurs  |  Exmouth

Picture

2PM  |  FISH INSPIRATION


Olivier grew up cooking in his dad’s restaurant in Brittany in France, and trained in butchery and pastry.  He has worked in various restaurants both in France and here in the UK, having spent time at Michelin-starred Morels.

Olivier Guyard-Mulkerrin learnt his craft from his father before training formally and working through the ranks to become head chef and executive chef in establishments like Trade Winds and The Lobster Pot in Antiqua. Returning to Devon, he worked at Brocks Padstow, and was head chef at the Hotel Barcelona before opening his own restaurant in Exmouth. He too is a big fan of fishing, and when he’s not buying direct from the fishermen, he’s out at sea spearfishing. 

Winners of Marco Pierre Whites Kitchen Wars Les Saveurs at The Seafood Restaurant, 9 Tower St, Exmouth.

Andy Witheridge
The Salty Monk  |  Sidford

Picture

12NOON  |  CAPPELLETTI


Andy Witheridge started out on the Michelin circuit after qualifying at Bournemouth Catering College many moons ago!! After years in the trade he set up on his own, providing outside catering services and consultancy work. Then after franchising a couple of local businesses he bought The Salty Monk with his wife in September 1999. Taking the business from derelict to divine became their passion, following it with local sourcing long before it was trendy and now supporting only artisan, small, local or english businesses along the way. 

The Salty Monk has won numerous awards over the years but there is no denying that success lies in the consistent quality and attention to detail that they have shown over their 15 year tenure. Turning attention to the chefs of the future they now mentor and support The Kings School at Ottery St Mary with pupils attaining amazing results, not least with The Dine Like Kings Charity Dinner held every November.

Bill Roper
Ashcombe Estate Orchards  |  Dawlish

Picture

4PM  |  THE IMPORTANCE OF LOCALISM


Bill lives in Budleigh with his young family and retails Ashcombe Ciders with many of our local outlets. He will be talking to us about the importance of localism and how Ashcombe Estate have used local people and businesses to get their business off the ground! And there may be some tastings at the end to try too!

Award Winning Premium Sparkling Devonshire Cider
For over 100 years the ancient orchards of the Ashcombe Estate have produced fruit that has been lovingly turned into the the finest Devonshire cider. The traditions of cider making that were started by the White Family in the late 19th century were almost lost to history - saved, revived and embraced, this passion for harnessing nature continues today. 

"We are proud of our history, and we hope that our customers love the blend of nature, knowledge and tradition at Ashcombe that helps us to create fine ciders for all to enjoy."

Sue Stoneman
Devon Life Home Cook finalists 2014

Sue Stoneman Budleigh Food and Drink Festival

5PM  |  RUSTLING UP A ROULADE!


Delicious Dessert - Sue rustles up a roulade + pumpkin cakes

Sue lives with her family (and 3 chickens) in Exmouth and loves to cook! Sue was one of the finalists at this year's Devon Life Home Cook awards 2014. Judges included newly crowned Michelin Star chef Anton Piotrowski, of The Treby Arms, Sparkwell, along with Andy Cooper, Editor of Devon Life. The final all happened over the weekend of 20/21 September, and the Devon Life Home Cook of the Year 2014 winner will be announced at the Devon Life Food & Drink Awards Dinner at Sandy Park on 6th November (so the results are a closely guarded secret at the moment!)

Sue is going to show us how to cook a really scrummy dessert which you could have for Sunday lunch or a special dinner party or as a tasty treat – and it looks and tastes fantastic! It's fairly easy and quick to make and put together. You could use any seasonal fruit such as strawberries, raspberries and/or blueberries.

Sue will also be rustling up little pumpkin cakes. A quick bake to use up the pumpkin flesh scooped out when you make your Jack-o-lanterns next week.  Tasty too!
