The Master Chefs of Great Britain seeks to promote all that is best about British cuisine and produce available in this country to both the chef and the consumer.
The MCGB supports the campaign for healthy eating by encouraging the use of fresh, quality produce in kitchens around the country. Its members are particularly interested in sourcing local ingredients and in supporting small producers.
The association and individual members provide demonstrations at both trade and retail shows and many offer cookery courses at their restaurants.
In addition, members of the MCGB are actively involved with their local schools and colleges providing demonstrations, work experience opportunities and a endorsing educational books and courses within the UK.
The MCGB is supported by its member chefs and its corporate members and sponsors and in turn supports a number of industry initiatives and bodies including:
