A multi award-winning Liverpool chef has launched an exciting new organisation.
Kemal Coskuncay aims to brings fellow chefs together, championing the hospitality industry and making a real different in communities across the city and beyond.
The founder of the Cafe Rima restaurant in Halewood has joined forced with respected hospitality professionals Tacim Yetis, Ali Kavlak and Ibrahim Coskuncay to establish the new British Northwest Chefs Union.
Its aim is to give culinary professionals a stronger voice, greater opportunities and a supportive network where they can develop both professionally and personally.
British Northwest Chefs was opened in May this year and recently hosted a free community event in collaboration with Groundwork UK’s Grow Speke.
The inaugural Community BBQ brought together leading chefs from British Northwest Chefs for a day dedicated to food, education and wellbeing.
Families, volunteers, chefs and visitors spent the day learning, cooking, sharing ideas and enjoying great company in a relaxed and inclusive environment.
The partnership with Grow Speke made the event particularly fitting as the educational charity has been serving the local community for more than 40 years.
It help people learn how to grow their own fruit and vegetables while promoting healthier lifestyles and improved wellbeing as part of a wide range of free services.
The project encourages natural growing methods free from chemicals and pesticides, demonstrating how sustainable food production benefits both people and the environment.
