Chef To The Stars Whips Michelin Stars

Chef Lee Scott, Head Chef at Cotswolds88 Hotel, Painswick, Gloucestershire, pipped Michael Caines of The Bath Priory, Bath and David Everitt-Matthias of The Champignon Sauvage, Cheltenham, both holding two Michelin stars, to the finishing post at the Cotswold Life Food And Drink Awards, recently held at Cheltenham Racecourse. Cotswold Life Food And Drink, Chef of the Year, sponsored by specialist catering equipment manufacturer Target Catering Equipment, was just one of the categories show casing all that is best in the local food and drink of the Cotswolds. Chef to the stars Lee has recently opened a cookery school where students can learn the tricks of his trade. The Cotswolds88 Hotel is offering guidance under its head chef Lee. Lee's track record speaks for itself - he has cooked for the likes of Hollywood stars Tom Cruise, Madonna, Eddie Murphy and Jim Carey. Lee is running one masterclass every month for the rest of the year in the Painswick boutique hotel's state-of-the-art kitchen. The course is open to everyone, whatever their skill level. Hotel manager Neil Scott said he believed Cotswolds88 was the first in Gloucestershire to offer the concept. In a three hour lesson, Lee will guide his class to prepare a three-course lunch which everyone on the course will enjoy at the end of the day! Gloucestershire is becoming a favorite foodie and peaceful weekend get-away destination of choice, all made possible by the fantastic local producers, including brewers, cheesemakers, bakers, butchers and many others.
